Flávio Bolsonaro flees Brazil for US after election defeat
Failed Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro has fled to the United States, which confirmed it will grant him and his family entry visas, following his election loss to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro missed a court deadline to surrender his passports on Tuesday, prompting their cancellation, and local media reported he had not been seen at his residence. Brazilian authorities filed a preventative detention order and requested an INTERPOL red notice for his arrest. The senator's exact escape route remains unconfirmed, with reports suggesting he may have passed through Argentina or Venezuela before landing in Florida. President Lula called his departure "shameful," while Bolsonaro had previously vowed to stay and lead the political opposition.
