Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro barred from leaving the country

newsit.gr (Greek) —

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro announced Monday that a Supreme Court judge ordered him to surrender his passports and banned him from leaving the country, one day after his electoral defeat to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. The order came after police requested his passports following a visit to his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who was convicted of an attempted coup. Flavio said he will comply with the ruling and denied planning to leave Brazil. On Sunday night, the 45-year-old senator had said he would seek to annul the election results, citing alleged irregularities.
