Flavio Bolsonaro flies to US with family as allies cite political concerns

tribunadonorte.com.br (Portuguese) —

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro has left Brazil for the United States with his wife and two daughters, according to allies cited by CNN Brasil on Tuesday. Allies say the senator believed he would be used as a bargaining chip in a potential agreement between the Supreme Court and the congressional opposition, possibly involving dropping impeachment efforts against Justice Alexandre de Moraes in exchange for easing investigations into him. The investigations relate to the financing of the film "Dark Horse" and his connection to businessman Willen Tomaz. The Federal Police has canceled his passports after Moraes ordered their surrender.
