Flavio Bolsonaro flees to Miami after election defeat, facing corruption charges

tf1info.fr (French) —

Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, has fled to Miami, United States, following his defeat to Lula in the presidential election. He faces accusations of corruption, tax fraud, and money laundering. Bolsonaro escaped via a circuitous route, crossing into Argentina on Tuesday, October 27, before flying through Guayaquil, Ecuador, and arriving in Miami the next morning with his wife and two daughters. He claims the trip was to "clear his head," but he is suspected by Brazilian authorities of serious financial crimes. The far-right candidate, who initially agreed to surrender his passports, now says he will lead the opposition from the US, where he has support from President Donald Trump.
