Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro has fled to the United States after losing the presidential election, with U.S. visas issued for him and his family. The move follows a failed attempt to stay in Brazil and a period of uncertainty around his whereabouts.
Sources confirm Bolsonaro left Brazil on a plane bound for the U.S., with reports indicating he may have crossed into Argentina first. The U.S. State Department has granted visas, allowing his family to enter the country. Bolsonaro had previously refused to surrender his passports to Brazilian authorities.
The escape has raised concerns about political instability and the potential for further legal actions. Bolsonaro's departure is seen as a significant political move, with implications for the ongoing investigations into his financial dealings and potential legal consequences.
Differences in reports suggest conflicting accounts of Bolsonaro's exact exit path and whereabouts, with some sources denying his entry into Argentina while others confirm a private jet was flown from Buenos Aires to the border town of Puerto Iguazú.
