The ex-president is awaiting trial for an alleged coup attempt after his 2022 election defeat by leftist leader Lula da Silva
Brazil’s ex-president Jair Bolsonaro left his home where he is under house arrest to undergo medical exams on Saturday, weeks before the Supreme Court rules whether he is guilty of plotting a coup.
The right-wing firebrand is accused of attempting to hold onto power despite his 2022 electoral defeat by current leftist leader, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Bolsonaro, 70, has been under house arrest since early August for violating a judicial ban on using social networks to plead his case to the public.
