Brazilian opposition leader Flavio Bolsonaro abandoned his attempt to overturn the results of Sunday's presidential election, fearing jail time following his defeat by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who won 51.8 percent of the vote to Bolsonaro's 48.2 percent. According to an adviser to the Bolsonaro family, the senator was afraid of being jailed and feared that his father, former president Jair Bolsonaro, might die in prison. The reversal followed initial accusations by Flavius ​​of electoral manipulation and demands to cancel the vote. Meanwhile, Brazil's Supreme Court ordered Bolsonaro to surrender his passports and barred him from leaving the country amid ongoing corruption and money laundering investigations, charges he denies. Although he dropped his demand for an annulment, he still intends to take legal action against Lula over election abuses and organize a political opposition in Congress.
