Flávio Bolsonaro appeals to Supreme Court to keep his passports

Senator Flávio Bolsonaro has appealed to Brazil's Supreme Federal Court to overturn Justice Alexandre de Moraes' order requiring him to surrender his passports. His legal team requests reconsideration or referral of the case to the First Panel. The appeal also challenges the use of a statement from his brother, Eduardo Bolsonaro, as justification for the passport seizure. Flávio left Brazil for the United States last week following his defeat in the presidential election. Flávio, whose Senate term runs until January 2027, initially released a letter in the U.S. claiming to be president-elect before retracting it and describing himself as a national "leader."
