Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US.

He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president.

interesting. sources close to lula say he's not in alignment with justice moraes' order to seize flavio's passport, thinks it may reinforce the right's rhetoric of persecution.

Painel: Governistas se irritam com Moraes e Lula diz estar preocupado com discurso de perseguição a Flávio

Para interlocutores do presidente, apreensão do passaporte do senador elevou tensão desnecessariamente

One should not let this slip away:

One of the reasons why the majority of Brazilians voted Lula this weekend *is* MAGA and the closeness between Trump and the Bolsonaros.
