mathrubhumi.com (Malayalam) —

Brazilian right-wing candidate Flavio Bolsonaro fled to the US after Brazil cancelled his passports amid money laundering investigations, following his election defeat. Bolsonaro arrived in Florida hours after the passports were revoked, meeting his younger brother Eduardo, according to BBC sources. He had failed to surrender the documents as ordered by the Supreme Court. Bolsonaro lost Sunday's presidential runoff to incumbent leftist leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, receiving 48.21 percent of votes against Silva's 51.79 percent. He has refused to accept the result, alleging electoral irregularities.
