Bolsonaro lands in Miami after fleeing Brazil corruption probe

dn.se (Swedish) —

Flávio Bolsonaro, the former Brazilian presidential candidate, has landed in Miami after fleeing Brazil following his election loss on Sunday. He is suspected of corruption and had been barred from leaving the country. Bolsonaro flew with his wife and two daughters on a private jet to Argentina on Tuesday night before continuing to Ecuador, with his final destination kept secret. He failed to comply with a Supreme Court order to surrender his passport and has lost his parliamentary immunity. The US State Department has said the Bolsonaro family is welcome and will be granted political asylum. His father, Jair Bolsonaro, is serving a long prison sentence for an attempted coup after the previous election.
