Brazil’s former lawmaker Eduardo Bolsonaro, who moved to the US in March seeking White House support to avert the arrest of his father Jair Bolsonaro, has had both of his Brazilian passports canceled at least since the beginning of the month, according to government officials. As a lawmaker, Eduardo was entitled to a diplomatic passport for official travel, in addition to the regular document available to all Brazilians. He lost his seat in congress last week, about six months after his leave of absence expired. The cancellation of his passports comes amid a court probe into the Bolsonaro family’s alleged corruption and ties to criminal organizations. This move restricts Eduardo’s ability to freely travel and adds another layer of scrutiny to his activities both in Brazil and abroad. Despite the setbacks, Eduardo Bolsonaro remains a strong supporter of his father’s administration and continues to seek ways to influence politics from his current location in the US. The cancellation of his passports is seen as a significant blow to his efforts to maintain a prominent role in Brazilian politics while living overseas. It also raises questions about the potential legal consequences he may face as a result of the ongoing investigations into his family’s conduct. The situation highlights the growing challenges faced by the Bolsonaro family as they navigate both domestic and international pressures amidst allegations of wrongdoing and abuse of power.
