Brazilian Police Cancel Flávio Bolsonaro's Passports After He Ignores Court Order
Brazilian Federal Police informed Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes that Senator Flávio Bolsonaro failed to comply with a court order to surrender his passports, leading to their cancellation. Authorities suspect the defeated presidential candidate may have fled Brazil, possibly heading to the United States. The senator was ordered to hand over his passports on Monday with a 24-hour deadline, which expired Tuesday morning. Brazilian immigration systems show no record of his departure, prompting an investigation into possible illegal exit methods. Family members confirmed to local media that Bolsonaro is on a flight to the US, though Argentine authorities reported no entry record. Bolsonaro, who lost the October election to President Lula, faces a money laundering investigation. He claimed the passport order was an attempt to intimidate him and previously announced plans to challenge the election results.
