Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro said Monday, October 26, that a Supreme Court judge ordered him to surrender his passports and barred him from leaving the country, a day after he lost the presidential election to Luis Inacio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro called the move "a clear attempt to intimidate me," denying wrongdoing in an ongoing investigation into alleged corruption and money laundering related to the financing of a biopic about his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro. He also claimed that the court's decision stemmed from statements by his brother, former lawmaker Eduardo Bolsonaro, that Flavio would have to leave Brazil if he lost the election. Flavio vowed to challenge the election result, saying the extended voting hours favored Lula, and promised to "organize the opposition" to "stand up to the chaos. ".
