Brazilian Senator Bolsonaro flees to US after court orders passport surrender

Brazil's Supreme Court ordered Senator Flávio Bolsonaro to surrender his passports and banned him from leaving the country on Monday, a day after the runoff election. He then mysteriously fled to the United States, with his current whereabouts unclear. The court, citing investigations into money laundering and illegal currency transactions, gave Bolsonaro 24 hours to comply. Federal police annulled his passports Tuesday morning. Reports suggest a planned flight to Florida via Argentina fell through when a passenger failed to appear, and Argentine authorities registered no border crossing. Bolsonaro faces two probes, including alleged laundering tied to online betting and film financing. His brother Eduardo, living in Texas, had advocated for his departure. The case is part of a long-running feud with Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who previously sentenced their father, Jair Bolsonaro, for an alleged coup plot.
