Bolsonaro reported to have fled Brazil for Argentina

dn.se (Swedish) —

Far-right nationalist Flávio Bolsonaro, who lost Brazil's presidential election on Sunday, is reported to have fled to Argentina. He allegedly crossed on foot into Puerto Iguazú and boarded a private plane bound for the U.S. Argentine media say the aircraft, owned by Baires Fly, is being held at the airport. It arrived from Buenos Aires Tuesday morning to carry four passengers, but the flight plan was cancelled, with Bolsonaro suspected to be among them. Bolsonaro faces money laundering and bribery allegations in Brazil, and his political immunity ends early next year. Federal police sought to seize his passport, but he reportedly missed the deadline, while Argentine authorities deny the escape reports.
