Brazil's Supreme Court on Thursday rejected former President Jair Bolsonaro's request to have his passport returned so he could travel to the United States to attend President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, a decision seen by Reuters showed, APA reports quoting Reuters.
Bolsonaro, who has been barred from running for office until 2030 and faces criminal charges for allegedly plotting a coup after his 2022 election defeat, had his passport retained in February 2024 on the order of Brazil's top court.
The former president denies any wrongdoing. His lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
