Michelle Bolsonaro

Michelle Bolsonaro is the wife of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. She is newsworthy due to her husband's legal troubles and health issues while serving a 27-year prison sentence for plotting a coup. Recently, she successfully negotiated with a judge to have Jair Bolsonaro returned to house arrest after a period of imprisonment. She has also been the primary source of information regarding his health, including a fall in prison resulting in a head injury, treatment for persistent hiccups (including a phrenic nerve block), and a surgery for an inguinal hernia. Her actions highlight her role as a key figure in her husband's life and a public advocate for his well-being amid his legal and medical challenges.
