"Brazil's Former President Bolsonaro Surrenders Passport in Coup Probe"
Brazil's ex-President Jair Bolsonaro has been ordered to surrender his passport within 24 hours as part of an investigation into the 2023 storming of Brazil's Congress by his supporters. The order was authorized by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, and Bolsonaro's lawyer stated that he would comply. The investigation is focused on a "criminal organization involved in the attempted coup," with two of Bolsonaro's former advisers reportedly among those detained. This comes amid a series of legal challenges and investigations faced by Bolsonaro, including a ban from running for office for eight years due to casting doubts on Brazil's electronic voting system.
