Rogério Correia requests the seizure of Eduardo Bolsonaro's passport.
'He is conspiring against Brazilian justice,' stated the PT congressman regarding the attacks launched by the far-right parliamentarian against Alexandre de Moraes.
247 - Federal deputy Rogério Correia (PT-MG) reported via social media that he requested a document from investigators requesting the "seizure of Eduardo Bolsonaro's passport for conspiring against justice and the country."
"He returned to defending the Military Dictatorship, proclaiming a strategy of continued coups, and threatened Alexandre Moraes, justifying his eventual arrest," the parliamentarian wrote on the social network X.
A federal deputy from the PL-SP party, Jair Bolsonaro's son attacked Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. In a post criticizing the awarding of the Brazilian film "Ainda Estou Aqui" (I'm Still Here) at the Oscars, the congressman insinuated that there is a "real dictatorship" underway in Brazil and stated that he "will punish" Moraes.
The request to seize his passport is not accidental; it stems from Eduardo Bolsonaro's connections with the American far-right. Criticism of the judiciary is a strategy devised by figures like the American Steve Bannon. In January 2021, when Donald Trump lost the election, several supporters stormed the legislature and accused the electoral system of being fraudulent, in coup-like acts.
Trump strategist Bannon met with federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) in the US after the second round of the 2022 Brazilian election and He advised the parliamentarian to question the result..
Following the attempted coup in 2022, as indicated in the Attorney General's complaint against Jair Bolsonaro and his allies, several of his supporters carried out coup-like acts on January 8, 2023, when they invaded the Praça dos Três Poderes (Three Powers Square) in Brasília (DF). The Supreme Federal Court has already issued 371 convictions. New trials will take place.
In the case of Eduardo Bolsonaro, the PT party, led by Rogério Correia, also filed a complaint with the Chamber of Deputies' Ethics Committee in February to initiate disciplinary proceedings against the far-right congressman.
The Workers' Party accused the congressman of conspiring in the US against Brazilian sovereignty. According to the complaint, Bolsonaro's son has been traveling to the United States to coordinate with Republican representatives the analysis of a bill aimed at preventing Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes from entering the country.
Alexandre de Moraes
The Supreme Court Justice has been attacked by the Brazilian far-right in recent years for his prominent role in investigations into issues such as fake news (digital militias), a coup plot, vaccination card fraud, and the illegal sale of jewelry.
The magistrate also served as president of the Superior Electoral Court from August 16, 2022, to June 3, 2024. In 2023, the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) declared Bolsonaro ineligible due to coup-mongering statements made in 2022, when he told ambassadors in Brasília (DF) that the Brazilian electoral system lacks security against fraud.
The Federal Police indicted Bolsonaro in three investigations - coup plot, sale of jewelry, and fraud involving vaccination cards. In 2025, the Attorney General's Office filed charges against the former president and 33 other people for involvement in the coup plot.
Before the Attorney General's Office filed the charges, the Federal Police had already stated that the participants in the illegal scheme also aimed to assassinate President Lula, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, and Minister Alexandre de Moraes. The Supreme Court is reviewing the case.
After indicting Bolsonaro in the investigation into the coup plot, the Prosecutor's Office continues to analyze other accusations against the former president, such as credit card fraud and the illegal sale of jewelry, two investigations that could further damage Bolsonaro's legal situation.
