Brazilian police seek Flávio Bolsonaro's passport over flight risk concerns
Brazilian Federal Police requested the seizure of Flávio Bolsonaro's passport and a travel ban, citing "concrete and current" flight risks. The defeated presidential candidate failed to surrender his passport by Tuesday morning's 11 a.m. deadline. Police cited three factors: public statements by his brother Eduardo Bolsonaro urging him to leave Brazil, his significant economic resources, and established structures abroad. Investigators also suspect funds from banker Daniel Vorcaro may have financed Eduardo's long-term stay in the United States. The request is part of an investigation into Flávio Bolsonaro's alleged ties to lawyer Willer Tomaz, who has been in Miami since August 2026. The case remains under judicial secrecy.
