Flávio Bolsonaro misses passport surrender deadline, compliance unclear

latimes.com [$] —

Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro faced uncertainty Tuesday after missing a noon deadline to surrender his regular and diplomatic passports, with compliance unclear. The order came after his defeat to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro, 45, received the Supreme Court order Monday outside his father's home, where former President Jair Bolsonaro is under house arrest for a coup attempt. He has refused to concede, alleging election fraud without evidence, and his whereabouts remained unknown. Bolsonaro faces Supreme Court investigations for corruption and money laundering, and his senatorial immunity expires January 31. He has denied wrongdoing and said he plans to organize opposition among congressional colleagues rather than leave Brazil.
