  "summary": "Brazil’s Federal Police are investigating whether Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, defeated in the recent presidential runoff, left the country via Argentina after failing to hand over his passports as ordered by the Supreme Federal Court. Argentine newspaper Infobae reported that Bolsonaro entered Argentina at Puerto Iguazú around 2 a.m. on Monday using his national identity card, and was reportedly planning to continue to the United States on a private plane. However, both Bolsonaro’s campaign and the Argentine government deny that he has left the country. The Supreme Court ordered Bolsonaro to surrender his passports within 24 hours and barred him from leaving the country. Federal Police have not confirmed that Bolsonaro passed through any official Brazilian border checkpoint.",
