Flavio Bolsonaro arrives in Miami after Brazil election defeat

newsit.gr (Greek) —

Flavio Bolsonaro arrived in the United States on Wednesday, three days after his defeat in Brazil's presidential election, despite a court order to surrender his passports. He landed at an airport near Miami, Florida, ending days of uncertainty about his whereabouts. The Brazilian senator and eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro traveled with his family, according to the BBC. His arrival was confirmed by Reuters photos showing him disembarking and leaving customs facilities. Brazilian authorities had canceled his travel documents after he failed to comply with a judicial order amid an ongoing investigation. Bolsonaro, 45, is under investigation for alleged corruption and money laundering related to a film production for his father. He denies wrongdoing and has not been charged. He reportedly entered Argentina by land, then flew via Ecuador before reaching Florida, though it remains unclear if Miami is his final destination.
