Flavio Bolsonaro Says Brazil Federal Police Asked for His Passports
Flavio Bolsonaro said he will comply and denied planning to flee as federal police acted under a Supreme Court order amid election disputes.
- On Monday, the Federal Police summoned Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro and ordered him to surrender his passports and barred him from leaving Brazil. Officers approached him on a Brasilia street after he visited his father.
- Supreme Court Justice Alexandre issued the order after Eduardo Bolsonaro, Flavio's brother, suggested on a podcast last week that Flavio should leave Brazil if he lost the runoff election.
- "I was ordered right on the street to hand over my passports, and I'm also prohibited from leaving the country," Flavio said in a video. He called the measure "a clear attempt to intimidate me."
- Flavio is subject to Supreme Court investigations into suspected money laundering and financial irregularities, though he has not been convicted. He has refused to concede the election result.
- The passport order follows Sunday's closely contested runoff in which Lula secured victory over the former president. Officials have not responded to requests for comment regarding the judicial measure.
