Brazilian police investigate alleged escape of Senator Flavio Bolsonaro to US via Argentina
Brazilian police are investigating the alleged escape of far-right Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, who reportedly fled to the United States via Argentina after losing Sunday's presidential election to leftist incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. His passport has been revoked. Bolsonaro has not been seen since Monday and missed a Tuesday morning deadline to surrender his passport to federal police, fueling escape rumors. A Supreme Court judge annulled his passport after a criminal proceeding, and reports suggest he feared arrest. Argentine news site Infobae reported he fled to Argentina Monday night, planning to board a private jet from Puerto Iguazu to the US, but the plane never took off. Bolsonaro, who has not conceded defeat, denied any intention to leave the country.
