Flavio Bolsonaro Has Passports Cancelled as Whereabouts Unclear
Police said his passports were cancelled as legal scrutiny deepens after defeat, with no formal record of his leaving the country.
- On Tuesday, Brazilian politician Flavio Bolsonaro's passports were cancelled following his election defeat, with speculation mounting over his whereabouts as he failed to comply with the surrender order by afternoon.
- Defeated by Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Sunday, Bolsonaro faces mounting legal troubles and will lose parliamentary immunity as he remains under scrutiny in corruption probes including the biopic 'Dark Horse.'
- Supreme Court Justice Flavio Dino ordered police on Tuesday to investigate alleged foreign funding of Bolsonaro's campaign, examining 'deliberate asymmetries and algorithmic manipulation by internet companies' affecting Brazil's electoral process.
- Argentina's security ministry denied reports that Bolsonaro had entered the country, while he stated, 'I never had any intention of leaving the country. I will surrender my passports and defend myself against this travesty.'
- While world leaders congratulated Lula, President Donald Trump alleged the election 'looked terrible to me. I didn't take sides but it looked like another rigged election frankly,' as Lula secured around 4.4 million more votes.
