Bolsonaro flees Brazil as US grants visa

Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro has reportedly fled the country, with the United States granting him and his family visas, according to media reports and a US official. He faces a court order to surrender his passports amid a money laundering investigation. Bolsonaro, who lost Sunday's runoff to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva with 48.2 percent of the vote, allegedly traveled via Argentina to the US. He violated a Supreme Court order to hand over his passports within 24 hours. His whereabouts remain unconfirmed, and his lawyer and campaign coordinator say they lack information. President Lula criticized his rival's apparent flight, questioning what he has to hide. US President Donald Trump has cast doubt on the election's legitimacy, siding with Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro's brother Eduardo, who faces an arrest warrant in Brazil, already lives in the US.
