Brazil's Supreme Court allows Bolsonaro to leave prison for surgery

On Dec 23, lawyers for former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro asked Brazil's Supreme Court to allow hospitalization on Wednesday for tests and surgery.
Bolsonaro's 2018 stabbing left abdominal injuries that led to repeated hospital care, including surgeries for a hernia linked to the 2018 campaign stabbing.
Last week, Justice Alexandre de Moraes authorized Jair Bolsonaro to leave prison for surgery while serving a 27-year sentence for plotting a coup.
Financial markets are watching developments as Bolsonaro was expected to endorse his eldest son, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, who posted a video on Tuesday about his father's worsening condition and canceled a Metropoles interview.
A Supreme Court ruling names DF Star hospital in Brasilia and schedules tests then surgery, authorizing Bolsonaro to have a hernia procedure Thursday with admission Wednesday, according to a ruling seen by Reuters.
