Brazilian police cancel Flavio Bolsonaro's passports amid flight speculation

ici.radio-canada.ca (French) —

Brazilian police sources say Senator Flavio Bolsonaro's passports have been canceled amid speculation he might flee after his defeat in the presidential election. The court ordered the conservative ex-candidate to surrender the documents Monday, but police say he failed to comply, prompting the cancellation. Flavio Bolsonaro faces investigations for alleged corruption and money laundering, which he denies. Argentine authorities denied reports he attempted to enter their country, stating no entry was recorded. His entourage remained silent as a delegation left his Brasília home Tuesday. He lost Sunday's runoff to leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
