Bolsonaro claims persecution after leaving Brazil for Miami

svd.se (Swedish) —

Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro claims he left his home country due to persecution, arriving in Miami, USA, with his family earlier this week. He faces investigations for money laundering and corruption in Brazil. In an Instagram live broadcast, Bolsonaro stated the persecution began earlier than he anticipated. He also suggested he may seek the presidency before the next scheduled election in 2030, saying he is talking about an earlier timeframe. Incumbent President Lula da Silva won the election in October, a result Bolsonaro has not conceded. Bolsonaro's comments come amid ongoing legal scrutiny in Brazil.
