Ex-Mossad officer helped Flávio Bolsonaro flee Brazil, report says

timesofindia.indiatimes.com —

A former Mossad officer reportedly accompanied Brazilian senator Flávio Bolsonaro as he fled Brazil into Argentina before flying to the United States, according to a CNN Brasil investigation. The senator crossed the border on October 27 with his family, days after losing the presidential runoff. Bolsonaro traveled in a van with the former Israeli intelligence officer, who arrived in Brazil on October 19, while his wife and daughters rode in a second vehicle. The family boarded a private jet in Argentina, stopping in Ecuador before landing near Miami on October 28. Brazilian investigators identified the drivers from security footage. The escape occurred despite a Supreme Court order barring Bolsonaro from leaving Brazil amid money laundering investigations, which he denies. Authorities are probing possible logistical support from allies of Argentine President Javier Milei and US President Donald Trump, though direct government involvement remains unproven.
