Brazil’s Flávio Bolsonaro misses passport deadline, compliance unclear

globalnews.ca —

Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro missed a noon Tuesday deadline to surrender his passports, with compliance unclear. The order came after his defeat to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Sunday's election. Bolsonaro, 45, received the Supreme Court order Monday outside his father's house arrest residence. He faces investigations for alleged corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion, and has refused to concede, making unsubstantiated fraud claims. His whereabouts Tuesday were unknown, and a spokesperson didn't respond to requests. Bolsonaro denies wrongdoing in both cases, and his Senate term expires in January 2027, ending special Supreme Court jurisdiction.
