novinky.cz (Czech) —

Flávio Bolsonaro, the unsuccessful candidate in Brazil's presidential election, has arrived in the United States, landing in Florida to meet his brother. US President Donald Trump said Wednesday he approves of the trip. Bolsonaro arrived hours after Brazil revoked his travel documents, according to BBC. He lost Sunday's runoff to leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and faces investigations into money laundering and film financing. His brother Eduardo, who lives in the US, was sentenced in absentia in June for illegal lobbying. A US State Department official said visas will be issued for Bolsonaro and his family.
