Brazil cancels Flavio Bolsonaro's passports as police search for him

thestar.com.my —

Brazil canceled Senator Flavio Bolsonaro's passports on Tuesday after he failed to comply with a Supreme Court order to surrender them, as federal police seek his whereabouts. The former presidential candidate lost Sunday's election to incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro was given 24 hours on Monday to hand in his passports as part of a money laundering probe he denies wrongdoing in, but the deadline lapsed. Argentina reported no record of him entering its territory, and his aides declined or said they did not know where he was. Concerns have risen he might follow his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who fled to the U.S. after losing in 2022 and was later sentenced for plotting a coup. Bolsonaro has not conceded defeat, vowing to challenge the result, though his party acknowledged Lula's win.
