Bolsonaro says he left Brazil due to persecution

di.se (Swedish) —

Brazilian presidential election loser Flávio Bolsonaro claims he left Brazil for the United States due to alleged persecution, arriving in Miami with his family earlier this week. Bolsonaro faces investigation in Brazil for suspected corruption and money laundering. He claims a Supreme Court judge made false accusations and that his passport was revoked, stating he left "for Brazil," not "from Brazil." Bolsonaro also alleges last week's election loss to Lula da Silva was "mathematically impossible" without fraud, though his PL party has conceded. Brazil's electoral court confirmed the vote proceeded normally.
