What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the Supreme Court order tied to a money-laundering inquiry and frame it around Flávio Bolsonaro’s election defeat. The New York Times gives a straightforward legal summary, saying the court told police to seize his passport over links to an investigation. The Guardian US is more explicit about the restriction on movement, saying he was banned from leaving Brazil and ordered to surrender his passports.
