Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro flees to Miami after election defeat
Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro fled to Miami on Tuesday after losing Brazil's presidential election, failing to surrender his passports as ordered by Federal Police amid multiple criminal investigations. Bolsonaro was greeted by his brother Eduardo in Miami, with a State Department official confirming the US would grant visas to him and his family. He faces federal investigations into money laundering allegations and was deemed a flight risk by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The senator's defeat to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva marked a setback for the Bolsonaro political dynasty, with Flávio having campaigned on freeing his father Jair, who is serving a 27-year sentence for plotting a coup. President Trump said he would have approved of Bolsonaro's arrival, while Lula called his departure "shameful."
