Brazilian Police Investigate Reported Flight of Flávio Bolsonaro to US
Defeated presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro is reportedly fleeing to the United States, one day after Brazil's Supreme Court ordered him to surrender his passports over flight risk concerns, following his election loss to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. According to Brazilian media, the flight is currently underway, with allies informed of the escape route via Argentina. Federal Police are verifying border crossings and flights, having found no official record of the senator's departure so far. Justice Alexandre de Moraes issued the travel ban Monday amid an investigation involving Bolsonaro and lawyer Willer Tomaz. Bolsonaro, who disappeared Tuesday morning, had previously denied planning to leave Brazil and criticized the court's decision.
