Flávio Bolsonaro said Monday that a Brazilian Supreme Court justice ordered him to surrender his passports and barred him from leaving the country, a day after he lost the presidential runoff to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva1,2.
In an Instagram video he called the order “a clear attempt to intimidate me”1,2. He is under investigation for alleged corruption and money laundering tied to financing of a film about his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro; he denies wrongdoing1,2.
He said the measure followed a comment by his brother, U.S.-based Eduardo Bolsonaro, that Flávio would have to leave Brazil if he lost, which he denied saying1,2.
Bolsonaro received 48.2 percent to Lula’s 51.8 percent and has refused to concede, citing a two-hour extension of voting that both campaigns had requested1,2. He said he would organize opposition to Lula’s government1,2. The justice’s written order was not quoted in these reports.
