n-tv.de (German) —

Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, after fleeing to the US, declared himself the true winner of Brazil's election, claiming fraud without providing evidence. Bolsonaro's Liberal Party conceded defeat, but he refused to accept the result, vowing to lead the opposition from the US and thanking Argentina's Javier Milei and US President Donald Trump for support. He fled despite a court order to surrender his passports. Incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won Sunday's runoff with 51.8 percent. Bolsonaro faces corruption investigations and sought asylum in the US.
