Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro Flees to US Amid Passport Probe

20min.ch (German) —

Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro is reportedly fleeing to the United States following his election defeat, with federal police investigating whether he violated a court-ordered travel ban. The 45-year-old allegedly failed to surrender his passports within 24 hours as ordered by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who had annulled the documents. Bolsonaro faces a money laundering investigation involving his father's film financing. Bolsonaro denies the allegations and had stated he would comply, while Argentina denied reports of his entry. He lost Sunday's runoff to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and his parliamentary immunity ends in January.
