Bolsonaro Jr. Flees to Florida, Receives Political Asylum from Trump Administration

unionesarda.it (Italian) —

Flavio Bolsonaro, defeated Brazilian presidential candidate, fled to Florida with his family, violating a court ban, and the Trump administration has offered him political asylum. The escape occurred two days after his electoral loss, with Bolsonaro joining his brother Eduardo, also a fugitive in the US. His party abandoned him mid-flight, recognizing Lula's victory, marking the end of the bolsonarismo political era. Bolsonaro faces two Supreme Court investigations for corruption, money laundering, and currency evasion. He allegedly entered Argentina clandestinely before flying to the US, where he awaits potential arrest warrants as his parliamentary immunity expires in February.
