  "account": "Brazil's defeated presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro missed a deadline to surrender his passports, with it unclear whether he complied. The deadline expired at noon on Tuesday, two days after his loss to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro, 45, received the order on Monday, a day following his defeat. He claimed to have received it outside his father's house, where Jair Bolsonaro, former President, is under house arrest for attempting a coup in 2022. Bolsonaro has denied conceding defeat and has made unfounded claims of electoral fraud. He is currently out of contact, with a spokesperson refusing to comment. It remains uncertain whether his passports have been turned over. Bolsonaro initially demanded the annulment of election results after chaotic polling, urging the electoral court to investigate alleged fraud. To overturn the result, he would need to present evidence of fraud affecting Lula's 4.4 million-vote lead and convince the eight-member court before the results are certified on Dec. 18. Lula received over 64 million votes, while Bolsonaro garnered less than 60 million, a 3.9% margin. Bolsonaro stated he had no plans to leave Brazil, instead planning to rally opposition from his Congressional colleagues to the election results. He is under investigation by Brazil's Supreme Court for corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion in two cases.",
