Flávio Bolsonaro Flees to US on Italian Passport via Argentina

g1.globo.com (Portuguese) —

Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro used an Italian passport to board a private jet in Argentina, fleeing to the United States after crossing the border from Brazil, despite a Supreme Court order prohibiting his departure. The senator crossed the Tancredo Neves Bridge from Paraná state into Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, on Tuesday night with his wife and two daughters. He then boarded a Gulfstream G400 jet to Guayaquil, Ecuador, before continuing to Miami, where he arrived Wednesday morning, according to flight documents. Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes had ordered Bolsonaro to surrender his Brazilian and foreign passports and banned him from leaving the country. US President Donald Trump said he approves of Bolsonaro's entry, and the State Department will grant visas to the senator and his family.
