Flavio Bolsonaro's passports canceled as he faces uncertainty over whereabouts

Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin possible syndication

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro's passports have been canceled after he failed to comply with a Supreme Court order to turn them in, raising concerns about his whereabouts. The cancellation follows a 24-hour deadline that expired, leading to the revocation of his travel documents.

Sources indicate Bolsonaro has not exited Brazil via regular migration points, though his exact location remains unclear. Argentina claims no records of his entry, and his aides have declined to comment on his whereabouts. His father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, previously fled to the U.S. after losing an election in 2022.

Bolsonaro's Liberal Party has acknowledged Lula's victory, but he has not officially conceded defeat, vowing to challenge the election results. His family members and allies have expressed uncertainty about his next steps, with some suggesting he may seek asylum in the U.S. if he loses the election.
