Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro's Passports Annulled Amid Funding Probe

20min.ch (French) —

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro's passports have been annulled after he failed to surrender them to authorities, a police source told AFP on Tuesday, following his electoral defeat to Lula. The Supreme Court ordered the passports' surrender after Sunday's election loss to leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Argentine authorities denied reports he attempted to flee through their country. A Supreme Court judge also opened an investigation into possible foreign financing of Bolsonaro's campaign, including whether American conservative group Rockbridge Network supported it and whether Meta platforms were manipulated.
