Flávio Bolsonaro Has Passports Canceled on Supreme Court Justice Moraes's Orders and Is Barred From Leaving the Country - Folha de S.Paulo

Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes canceled Flávio Bolsonaro’s (PL) passports, barring him from leaving the country. The decision came to light on Monday (26), one day after the senator lost the presidential election to Lula (PT). Under investigation by the Supreme Court, Flávio was ordered by the Federal Police to surrender his regular and diplomatic passports within 24 hours, as well as any passports he may hold from other countries.

Moraes also barred the senator from communicating with Willer Tomaz, a lawyer and friend of Flávio who is under investigation on suspicion of money laundering, "by any means, directly or through an intermediary." The justice also ordered that a migration alert be entered into Sonar, a system used to monitor travel between countries. Flávio is under investigation in the inquiry involving the film "Dark Horse," which received at least R$65 million ($10 million) from Banco Master’s Daniel Vorcaro.

In a video, Flávio said the reason for the measure was allegedly a statement by his brother, Eduardo Bolsonaro, who said the senator should leave Brazil if he were defeated. "I never said that. Is that a reason to take away my passport? Is that justice?" he asked. He said he had never considered leaving the country and that he would surrender the documents.

The senator said he will seek to have Lula’s ticket disqualified for abuse of political and economic power. On Sunday, he had said he would seek to have the election annulled.
