Brazilian court bars Flávio Bolsonaro from leaving country

diepresse.com (German) —

Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro has been ordered to surrender his passports and is barred from leaving the country, following a court ruling related to a money laundering investigation. Bolsonaro's Liberal Party has recognized Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's election victory but requested clarification on the process, shifting from an earlier demand to annul the vote. Bolsonaro now seeks to challenge Lula's campaign financing rather than the election result itself. The court order stems from an investigation into alleged money laundering involving companies and online sports betting. Bolsonaro denies wrongdoing and claims the ruling is an attempt to intimidate him.
