Bolsonaro Flees to US Despite Travel Ban, Gets Visa

tagesspiegel.de (German) —

Flávio Bolsonaro, the defeated presidential candidate, has fled Brazil to the United States despite a court-ordered travel ban related to a money laundering investigation. He is reportedly traveling with his wife and two daughters to Florida. The flight was allegedly organized with help from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and the US State Department confirmed it will grant Bolsonaro and his family visas. Bolsonaro failed to surrender his passports as ordered by a Brazilian court, which subsequently invalidated them. Bolsonaro faces investigations for alleged money laundering and corruption. His party has recognized Lula da Silva's victory but is challenging the campaign's conduct.
