Brazilian Police Cancel Flávio Bolsonaro's Passports After He Ignores Court Order

bbc.com —

Brazilian police have cancelled the passports of defeated presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro after he failed to surrender them, as ordered by the Supreme Court amid a money laundering investigation he denies. The court had given Bolsonaro 24 hours to hand over the documents, but the deadline passed, prompting speculation he may have left the country. Federal officers are checking border crossings, though Argentine authorities report no record of his entry. Bolsonaro, who lost Sunday's run-off to President Lula da Silva, faces separate probes into alleged corruption and foreign campaign funding. He has not conceded defeat and is calling for the election to be annulled.
