Flávio Bolsonaro Flees to US After Election Loss

nos.nl (Dutch) —

Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro has left Brazil with his family and is heading to the United States, two days after losing the presidential election to incumbent President Lula. Bolsonaro, son of convicted former President Jair Bolsonaro, lost Sunday's runoff with Lula receiving nearly 52 percent of the vote. He refuses to concede and wants the result invalidated. A day after his loss, Brazil's Supreme Court ordered him to surrender his passports amid a money laundering investigation. The court also ordered police to investigate possible illegal foreign campaign financing, including from a group linked to US Vice President JD Vance. His father fled to the US after losing in 2022 and was later sentenced to 27 years in prison for leading a coup attempt.
