Flavio Bolsonaro arrives in US after visa approval

in.gr (Greek) —

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro has arrived in the United States, according to the Washington Post and CNN, after the State Department granted him a visa. He is the eldest son of former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro. Flavio Bolsonaro traveled to the US following his defeat in Sunday's presidential election to center-left candidate Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. President Lula called his departure "shameful," saying Bolsonaro should have stayed to prove his innocence in a money laundering investigation. Flavio Bolsonaro failed to surrender his passport by the required deadline, despite earlier assurances he would comply. He denies the money laundering charges against him.
