> Brazilian Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes barred far-right senator Flávio Bolsonaro from leaving the country and ordered him to hand over all his passports within 24 hours. The ruling cited a police investigation into possible money laundering. Bolsonaro said the measure stemmed from his brother’s interview and denied saying he would leave Brazil if he lost the election.
