Brazilian police will investigate former President Jair Bolsonaro’s apparent extended visit to the Hungarian embassy in the days after authorities seized his passport as part of an investigation, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The New York Times reported Monday that Bolsonaro, who considers himself a close ally of conservative Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orban, may have spent two days at the country’s embassy in Brasilia in February, just after police launched a sweeping operation into allegations that he and his allies attempted a coup after his 2022 election defeat.
