Argentina denies Flávio Bolsonaro entered country or sought asylum

gazetadopovo.com.br (Portuguese) —

Argentina's government denied reports that Senator Flávio Bolsonaro entered the country or requested asylum, stating there is no record of his arrival. The denial follows claims he traveled to Puerto Iguazú en route to the United States. The National Directorate of Migrations said checks on a private plane at Puerto Iguazú airport found regular documentation and no flight plan including the Bolsonaro family. Presidential spokesman Adrián Ravier confirmed no political asylum request was made, while official sources reported no border crossing. The reports emerged after Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the senator's passport be withheld. Brazilian federal police are investigating, and Flávio's allies deny he left Brazil.
