Brazil cancels Flavio Bolsonaro's passports as police fail to locate senator

jpost.com —

Brazil canceled Senator Flavio Bolsonaro's passports Tuesday after he missed a Supreme Court deadline to surrender them, with federal police unable to locate him amid a money laundering probe. Argentina reported no record of Bolsonaro entering its territory, and his aides either declined to comment or said they did not know his whereabouts. The senator lost Sunday's presidential election to incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva but has not conceded, vowing to challenge the result. Concerns have risen he may follow his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who fled to the U.S. after his 2022 loss and later received a 27-year coup plot sentence. His brother Eduardo had suggested leaving the country if the election was lost.
