Flavio Bolsonaro, who lost to Lula da Silva in the second round of the presidential election, has abandoned plans to request the annulment of the results of the vote, writes Polha de S. Paulo. According to the publication, Bolsonaro is preventing attempts to challenge the legitimacy of the election by lawyers and key allies. They believed that the demand to cancel the voting results had no specific legal arguments, and warned of new political risks. Meanwhile, a Brazilian Supreme Court judge ordered Bolsonaro to surrender his passports (regular and diplomatic) by Tuesday morning and also barred him from leaving Brazil. The decision comes as the politician and his lawyer Wheeler Thomas are under investigation by the Federal Police on charges of money laundering. Telegram | Max | Read exclusively.
