Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro flees to Miami after election defeat

hindustantimes.com —

Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro arrived in Miami late Tuesday after fleeing Brazil following his defeat in Sunday's presidential election, according to reports, and was greeted by his brother Eduardo. Flávio lost to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who won a historic fourth term with 51.75% of the vote, while Flávio secured 48.25%. He faces multiple criminal investigations and missed a Supreme Court deadline to surrender his passports, having been ordered not to leave the country. Eduardo has lived in the US since last year lobbying President Donald Trump to help their father, jailed former president Jair Bolsonaro. Flávio has refused to concede, alleging election fraud without evidence, and reports suggested the Trump administration planned to issue visas to him and his family.
