Flavio Bolsonaro arrives in Miami after fleeing Brazil

abc.net.au —

Flavio Bolsonaro has arrived in the United States, less than a week after losing Brazil's presidential election. The senator disappeared after a court ordered him to surrender his passport, fleeing to Miami amid legal battles. Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, lost Sunday's election to leftist incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. He had denied plans to flee, but entered Argentina, traveled through Ecuador, and flew by private jet to Miami, where he was photographed disembarking. The US visa grant may strain US-Brazil relations, with President Donald Trump approving entry. Bolsonaro faces Supreme Court investigations for corruption and money laundering, and loses Senate immunity in February. His father fled to Florida after losing in 2022 and is now imprisoned for coup plotting.
