Brazilian Police Search for Flávio Bolsonaro After He Flees to US
Brazilian Federal Police are searching for Senator Flávio Bolsonaro after he failed to surrender his passports as ordered. A source close to him told CNN he is en route to the United States. Bolsonaro, who lost the presidential election to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, received a notification on Monday to hand over his passports and was barred from leaving the country. He has denied planning to leave Brazil, calling the measure an attempt to intimidate him. Argentina's migration authorities denied reports that Bolsonaro entered the country or requested asylum. He is under investigation by Brazil's top court for alleged corruption and money laundering, which he denies. His brother Eduardo, residing in the US, dismissed reports of his departure as a "lie."
