Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, left Brazil for Florida in late October after Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won the presidential runoff, without surrendering his passports as ordered. On October 25, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered Flavio to hand over his passports and barred him from leaving Brazil, citing an earlier comment by his brother, Senator Eduardo Bolsonaro, suggesting Flavio should leave the country if Jair's allies lost. Federal Police notified Flavio of the order on October 26. When he missed the deadline, the PF canceled both his ordinary and diplomatic passports on October 27. Flavio reportedly then used the already-canceled diplomatic passport to enter the United States, while Argentine authorities said they had no record of him crossing their border. Federal Police later clarified that Moraes's order required passport seizure, not Flavio's arrest, and that no arrest warrant had been issued, so defying the travel restriction alone did not make him a fugitive. Flavio denied wrongdoing and said he left Brazil for personal reasons, not to evade justice; his lawyers appealed the passport order to the Supreme Court. No arrest was ordered by November 6. The community's 50 percent yes share reflected genuine uncertainty, and the outcome landed on no.
