Brazilian Court Bars Flávio Bolsonaro from Leaving Country in Money Laundering Probe
Flávio Bolsonaro, the defeated candidate in Brazil's presidential election, must surrender his passports and is barred from leaving the country. Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the measure, citing a money laundering investigation. Bolsonaro is accused alongside lawyer Willer Tomaz in a probe involving alleged money laundering linked to companies and online sports betting. Federal police found evidence connecting Bolsonaro to a bank account of Tomaz's firm, though both deny the allegations. Bolsonaro, who lost Sunday's runoff to incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, called the order an intimidation attempt and vowed to continue leading the opposition. His party has recognized Lula's victory, but Bolsonaro is challenging the result in court.
