Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro ordered to surrender passports after election loss

hotnews.ro (Romanian) —

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro said Monday that Federal Police ordered him to surrender his passports after visiting his jailed father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who was convicted of attempting a coup. Flavio, who lost Sunday's presidential election to incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, said he will comply with the travel ban and denied planning to leave Brazil, attributing the order to Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The senator said the decision followed comments by his brother Eduardo suggesting he should leave the country if defeated, while Lula secured a fourth presidential term despite regional trends and Washington's pressure.
