Brazil revokes Flávio Bolsonaro's passport after failed surrender

radio.uchile.cl (Spanish) —

Brazilian authorities revoked Flávio Bolsonaro's passport due to flight risk after he failed to surrender it, following his election loss to Lula. Researcher Leonardo Paz says the escape is unsurprising. Paz notes Flávio's brother Eduardo, already in the US, had predicted this move. Many Bolsonaro supporters facing Brazilian justice, including coup attempt charges, reside there due to ideological alignment with Trump and lack of US cooperation. Flávio faces criminal corruption investigations, including money laundering via digital bets and possible foreign campaign financing. Unlike his father Jair, who returned after three months, Flávio's situation is more complex, with justice proceedings continuing in his absence.
