Brazil’s former lawmaker Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, has recently experienced the cancellation of both his Brazilian passports, according to officials. The passports were reportedly canceled earlier this month, a move that could restrict his international travel rights.
Eduardo Bolsonaro relocated to the United States in March, reportedly to seek support from the Biden administration in efforts to prevent his father, Jair Bolsonaro, from facing arrest or legal troubles in Brazil. The cancellation of his passports may further impact his ability to move freely between countries and could have political implications given his active role in partisan activities.
The Brazilian government has not publicly detailed the reasons behind the passport cancellations but noted that they were carried out in accordance with existing regulations. This development comes amid ongoing political tensions and investigations related to the previous Bolsonaro administration, which have seen some officials and allies face legal scrutiny.
It remains unclear how this move will influence Eduardo Bolsonaro’s activities in the U.S. or his ongoing efforts to influence political developments in Brazil. As of now, both he and Brazilian authorities have not issued further statements regarding the passport cancellations.
