Flávio Bolsonaro flees Brazil, lands in Miami with family
Brazilian senator Flávio Bolsonaro arrived in Miami, Florida, on Wednesday with his family after fleeing Brazil via Argentina and Ecuador, defying a court-ordered travel ban following his presidential election defeat to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The senator traveled on a private Gulfstream IV jet from Guayaquil, Ecuador, landing at Miami-Opa Locka Airport, where he was escorted away under police protection. US officials confirmed he and his family will be granted visas, and President Donald Trump said he approved their relocation. Bolsonaro faces investigations in Brazil over alleged money-laundering operations, and his escape was reportedly planned for weeks by his brother Eduardo. His departure has drawn criticism from Brazilian authorities and President Lula, who condemned the move as "shameful."
