Brazilian Authorities Revoke Bolsonaro's Passport as He Flees to Ecuador

ethnos.gr (Greek) —

Brazilian authorities have revoked the passport of defeated presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro, with Argentine officials reporting he boarded a flight to Ecuador, though his exact whereabouts remain unclear. He faces investigations into alleged money laundering and financial misconduct. Argentine immigration authorities stated Bolsonaro crossed the land border from Brazil with his wife and two daughters, then took a private flight to Guayaquil, Ecuador. This contradicts earlier reports he had arrived in the United States, where officials said visas were available if requested. Bolsonaro denies all allegations and claims the passport seizure was intimidation. He has not conceded Sunday's election loss to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, alleging voting irregularities, and faces additional probes into campaign financing and ties to a lawyer accused of laundering over $1 billion.
