Brazil's supreme court ordered Flávio Bolsonaro, the far-right senator who lost the presidential election to leftist president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, to surrender his passports and be banned from leaving the country. This decision followed a ruling by Justice Alexandre de Moraes that referenced a money-laundering case involving the senator's father, former president Jair Bolsonaro. The event occurred on October 26, 2026, just hours after the election loss, marking a significant political consequence for the senator.
