"On Thursday, Brazil's Supreme Court denied a petition from the former president to return his passport, which had been confiscated by federal police in February."
"Bolsonaro's office responded to the court's decision with displeasure, calling it evidence of lawfare a term for the use of a weaponised legal system."
"The Supreme Court, however, ruled that Bolsonaro's current role as a private citizen would not require him to travel to the US for the inauguration."
"Branco had indicated that there was a greater public interest in keeping Bolsonaro in Brazil than allowing him to travel abroad, where he might escape justice."
