Not extradited – Bolsonaro would be in an American hospital

Date:

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been taken to a Florida hospital, according to an insider. His condition was “not worrisome,” said a person close to the family. Meanwhile, US national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Monday his country has not yet received an extradition request against the former head of state.

Shortly before his successor came to power in Brazil earlier this year, Bolsonaro traveled to the United States with his family. They had already spent New Year’s Eve there and moved into a house belonging to former Brazilian martial artist José Aldo in a gated community.

Stab wounds during election campaign
Now the former Brazilian president has to be treated in a Florida hospital. The newspaper “O Globo” had reported that Bolsonaro had been hospitalized because of abdominal pain. A statement from the 67-year-old is not yet available. However, a source said the condition was “not a cause for concern”. The former head of state has been hospitalized several times in recent years after suffering stab wounds during the 2018 election campaign.

As reported, Bolsonaro supporters stormed government buildings in the capital Brasilia on Sunday – specifically the Congress, the seat of government and the Supreme Court. Considerable damage was done. Head of State Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva subsequently accused his predecessor of inciting his supporters. US Democratic politicians demanded immediate extradition to Brazil.

Bolsonaro denies allegations
Bolsonaro denied the allegations and condemned the attack on Twitter. On Monday, the US government made it clear that it had not yet received an official request from the Brazilian government. “Should such a request be made, we will take it seriously,” National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said in Mexico City.
