Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro accused the country’s supreme court of persecuting him on Saturday after his appeal against a travel ban was rejected.

Brazil’s Supreme Court has denied a request by former President Jair Bolsonaro to temporarily restore his passport so he could attend the inauguration in Washington of U.S.

Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro says he is the victim of political persecution as he accompanied his wife to the airport to board a flight to represent him at U.S.

Bolsonaro's lawyers filed an appeal claiming the politician had fully complied with the precautionary measures imposed on him by the Supreme Court.

Brazil’s Supreme Court barred former President Jair Bolsonaro from leaving the country to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration in Washington on Monday.

Bolsonaro said his lawyer has already made a request to get his passport back so he could “attend this honorable and important historical event.”

Ex-President Jair Bolsonaro, banned from leaving Brazil due to allegations he plotted a coup, has appealed to the Supreme Court to attend the Jan. 20 ceremony in Washington.

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said on Wednesday he has been invited to the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump on Jan. 20 and is seeking to obtain the return of his passport, confiscated last year amid a probe into an attempted coup in 2023.
