Bolsonaro travels from Argentina to Ecuador after leaving Brazil

aftenposten.no (Swedish) —

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro arrived in Argentina Tuesday evening and traveled onward to Ecuador, according to Argentina's migration directorate. He entered with valid documents despite a court order banning him from leaving Brazil. Bolsonaro, his wife, and two daughters boarded a private flight to Guayaquil, Ecuador, which took off from Puerto Iguazú shortly after midnight Wednesday. The directorate stated he faced no legal obstacles, though he had defied a Supreme Court order related to a money laundering investigation. Bolsonaro left Brazil after losing Sunday's presidential election to Lula da Silva, without conceding defeat. The U.S. State Department said it will grant him and his family visas, and President Donald Trump welcomed him to the country.
