Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro ordered to surrender passports, barred from leaving Brazil

abcmais.com (Portuguese) —

Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro was formally summoned by the Federal Police on Monday to surrender his passports and was barred from leaving the country, following a ruling by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The defeated presidential candidate stated he was surprised by the summons while leaving his father's residence in Brasília. He announced plans to file a legal action seeking the annulment of the winning Lula/Alckmin ticket, alleging abuse of economic power. Flávio denied ever considering leaving Brazil and said he will lead opposition efforts in Congress. The measure reportedly stems from a statement by his brother Eduardo, who suggested Flávio should leave the country if he lost the election.
