Brazilian Police Cancel Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's Passports After He Misses Court Deadline

gazetadopovo.com.br (Portuguese) —

Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro failed to surrender his personal and diplomatic passports by the Tuesday morning deadline, defying a Supreme Court order from Minister Alexandre de Moraes. His lawyers could not locate him to deliver the documents. The Federal Police subsequently canceled the passports and alerted the global monitoring system via the Foreign Ministry. Authorities also contacted Argentina's government over suspicions he may have crossed the border, though no exit was registered at Foz do Iguaçu or Puerto Iguazu. Bolsonaro faces three Supreme Court investigations, including alleged ties to a jailed banker and a lawyer accused of money laundering. His campaign denied he traveled, and he previously stated he would remain in Brazil to lead opposition to President Lula's fourth term.
