  "account": "Brazil's Flávio Bolsonaro, son of the country's former president Jair Bolsonaro, had his passports canceled on Tuesday following his defeat in the recent election. The 45-year-old politician was initially banned from leaving the country, but failed to comply with the order by Tuesday afternoon. His passports were taken away, according to a police source, and there is no record of him leaving the nation. Argentina's National Security Ministry and immigration authorities denied reports that Flávio Bolsonaro entered their country. Bolsonaro claimed the passport order was based on a comment made by his brother Eduardo, who suggested his brother would leave Brazil if he lost the election. Flávio Bolsonaro, who is currently under legal scrutiny for corruption and coup plotting allegations, denied ever intending to leave the country. He vowed to surrender his passports and defend himself against the accusations. Lula da Silva, the incumbent president, staged a remarkable comeback, winning around 4.4 million more votes than his rival. Despite the bitter election race, world leaders from both sides of the political spectrum congratulated Lula on his victory. US President Donald Trump, an ally of the Bolsonaro family, expressed doubts about the election's legitimacy, describing it as \"rigged.\" A Supreme Court investigation was ordered to probe foreign funding and manipulation during the campaign.",
