Flavio Bolsonaro arrives in Miami after Trump grants visa despite passport order
Flavio Bolsonaro, the defeated Brazilian presidential candidate, arrived in Miami late Tuesday despite a court order to surrender his passports amid a corruption investigation. He was met by his brother Eduardo upon landing with his family. The right-wing politician fled Brazil after the Trump administration granted him and his family visas, hours after police cancelled his passports for failing to comply with the surrender order. He denies money laundering allegations and has refused to accept Sunday's election loss to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro lost with 48.25 percent of the vote to Lula's 51.75 percent, and his refusal to concede mirrors his father Jair's 2022 move to the US. His Liberal Party has acknowledged Lula's victory, but Bolsonaro seeks annulment over alleged voter irregularities.
