Bolsonaro says federal police ordered him to hand over his passport

Brazilian lawmaker Jair Bolsonaro said federal police have demanded he surrender his passport, after he acknowledged defeat in last weekend’s election. The demand marks a fresh legal step involving the congressman, who conceded the vote over the weekend. It was not immediately clear what grounds the police cited for the request.

The passport demand signals that legal scrutiny of Bolsonaro is proceeding even after his concession, which matters because it introduces an institutional pressure point into an already delicate post-election transition. Because the grounds for the request are not yet clear, the significance sits less in the demand itself than in what it implies about the pace of law enforcement action around a sitting lawmaker. The open question is whether this remains an isolated procedural step or becomes part of a wider legal track, and how Brazil's institutions and Bolsonaro's supporters respond.
