Marinho surprised by Flávio's trip, questions Moraes' court order

Senator Rogério Marinho, campaign coordinator for presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, expressed surprise on Tuesday at the candidate's departure to the United States, saying he was unaware of his whereabouts. This follows a Monday order by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes prohibiting Flávio from leaving the country and requiring him to surrender his passports. Marinho stated he had spoken with Flávio on Monday about his role leading the opposition, and that he received only a text message saying he would talk later. The senator is under investigation by the Federal Police for alleged money laundering. Marinho questioned the timing of the court order, which came shortly after the election results, calling it "persecutory." Justice Moraes has imposed several measures against the Bolsonaro family, including restrictions on former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is under preventive detention. Flávio's social media posts previously led to a 90-day suspension of his visits to his father. Eduardo Bolsonaro also faces a prison warrant and had his passport canceled in a separate case.
