Flavio Bolsonaro Says Brazil Federal Police Asked for His Passports
Flávio Bolsonaro said he will comply with the passport order and denied plans to flee as Brazil’s top court expands pressure on the Bolsonaro family.
- On Monday, Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro said federal police barred him from leaving the country and ordered him to surrender his passports, one day after losing Sunday's presidential runoff to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
- Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes issued the restriction, which Flavio claimed stemmed from remarks by his brother, Eduardo Bolsonaro, who suggested on a podcast last week that Flavio should leave Brazil if he lost.
- Federal police stopped the senator on a street in Brasilia as he left the residence of his imprisoned father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, after visiting him on Monday.
- Refusing to concede, Flavio announced plans to seek annulment and declared, "To withstand the chaos, I'm going to organise the opposition." He denied planning to flee the country.
- Ongoing Supreme Court investigations into alleged corruption and money laundering during biopic financing provide the legal framework for the restriction, though Flavio has not been convicted in these cases.
