Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro Ordered to Surrender Passports Amid InvestigationPreviousNext

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, who lost the recent presidential election to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, was ordered by the Supreme Court to hand over his passports and barred from leaving the country. The order relates to an ongoing investigation into alleged corruption and money laundering, which Bolsonaro denies. He described the travel ban as an attempt to intimidate him and plans to challenge the election results while organizing opposition to Lula's government.
