Federal judge Bruno Savino decided de Oliveira cannot be jailed and ruled he should be put in a mental facility. Bolsonaro, 63, suffered serious internal bleeding from the stabbing in his abdomen and he needed a colostomy bag for weeks afterward. At the moment of the attack, Bolsonaro was on the shoulders of a supporter, looking out at the crowd and giving a thumbs up with his left hand. Bolsonaro has spent months accusing de Oliveira of being part of a plot to stop him from winning the presidency. De Oliveira belonged to a leftist party years ago and has said his attack was motivated by hatred for Bolsonaro.
