## Key points

- Police cancelled Bolsonaro’s passports after he missed a court deadline.
- Investigations concern alleged money laundering and campaign funding.
- He lost the run-off to Lula but is contesting the result.

## Summary

Brazilian police have cancelled defeated presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro’s passports after he failed to surrender them within a court-ordered 24-hour deadline. The move comes amid investigations into alleged money laundering and campaign financing, which Bolsonaro denies, and has prompted checks to determine whether he left Brazil.

The 45-year-old senator said he planned to remain in Brazil, but officers are checking whether he travelled to Argentina; Argentine authorities report no record of his entry. Bolsonaro also faces scrutiny over alleged corruption linked to a film about his father, former president Jair Bolsonaro. He lost Sunday’s run-off to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva by 51.79% to 48.21%, has not conceded and is calling for the result to be annulled, while his party has accepted the outcome.
