Two cases, canceled passport and escape: the Bolsonaro case

Brazil's Federal Police suspected Flávio Bolsonaro planned to flee after losing the presidential election. Following Lula da Silva's victory, a request to seize his passport was approved by the Supreme Court. Flávio failed to surrender his passport by the deadline, leading to its cancellation. The police cited his brother Eduardo's comments about fleeing and Flávio's financial resources as reasons for concern. Flávio, under investigation for money laundering, claimed he never intended to leave Brazil. Despite his departure to the U.S., he will still face criminal charges. His vice acknowledged the defeat, and the Liberal Party recognized Lula's victory.
