Brazilian Politician Bolsonaro Ordered to Surrender Passports and Banned from Leaving Country
Brazilian politician Flávio Bolsonaro says federal police ordered him to surrender his passports and banned him from leaving the country after visiting his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is under house arrest. Bolsonaro announced the measure in a social media video, claiming without evidence that it stemmed from a Supreme Court judge's decision. He denied any intention to flee, linking the order to an interview given by his exiled brother, Eduardo. The court order is tied to a money laundering investigation involving Bolsonaro, restricting contact with a friend linked to betting firms. He also faces a separate probe over funds allegedly sought from a banker. His parliamentary immunity ends next year.
