Flavio Bolsonaro flies from Brazil to Florida after election defeat

deccanherald.com —

Brazilian senator Flavio Bolsonaro arrived in Florida on Wednesday after a three-day journey through Argentina and Ecuador, following his defeat in the presidential runoff and amid a court order to surrender his passports. Bolsonaro lost the October 25 election to incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and challenged the result without providing substantiated evidence. On Monday, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered him to surrender his passports over money laundering investigations, which Bolsonaro denied. Bolsonaro traveled overland into Argentina with his family, reportedly using an Italian passport, then flew via private jet from Puerto Iguazu to Guayaquil and Miami. The US granted visas, while questions remained over his legal position and whether he would return to Brazil.
