Flavio Bolsonaro flees Brazil, heads to Ecuador via Argentina

huffingtonpost.fr (French) —

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro was en route to Ecuador from Argentina on Wednesday, October 28, after fleeing Brazil following his father's presidential election defeat, according to Argentine authorities. The son of former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro crossed the land border into Argentina at the Tancredo Neves international bridge in Misiones province, carrying valid travel documents with no legal obstacles. He then boarded a private flight to Guayaquil, Ecuador, operated by Baires Fly S.A., departing from Puerto Iguazu. US media reports claiming he had fled to the United States remain unconfirmed, though the Trump administration said it would grant a visa to the defeated candidate. Flavio Bolsonaro failed to surrender his passports as ordered by a court, leading to their cancellation on Tuesday, including his diplomatic passport.
