Argentine lawmaker seeks probe into Bolsonaro's alleged Iguazú escape; TV tracks jet

diariodocentrodomundo.com.br (Portuguese) —

Argentine lawmaker Marcela Pagano filed a criminal complaint Wednesday with the Federal Court of Puerto Iguazú to investigate the alleged clandestine entry of Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, who is barred from leaving Brazil, and his possible use of a private jet to reach the United States. Pagano requested the preservation of border bridge and airport cameras, flight plans, passenger lists, and charter contracts, and called for investigation into potential human trafficking and dereliction of duty by officials. Argentine TV channel C5N is broadcasting live from the airport amid reports the ANAC blocked the aircraft's departure. The aircraft in question, a Gulfstream G400 registered to Argentine company Baires Fly, landed in Puerto Iguazú Monday night but its planned flight to the US did not occur. The Milei government denies Bolsonaro entered Argentina, while allies claim he arrived in Florida Tuesday. Unconfirmed reports suggest a possible disinformation operation to divert attention from his actual route.
