Flavio Bolsonaro follows father's path, fleeing Brazil for Florida after election loss

Flavio Bolsonaro fled Brazil for Miami after losing the presidential election to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, refusing to concede and declaring himself the rightful president, mirroring his father Jair's 2022 actions. The 45-year-old senator left despite a court order to surrender his passports amid a corruption investigation, traveling with his family through Argentina and Ecuador on a charter jet reportedly arranged by the Trump administration. He plans to lead a political operation in exile. The escape follows Jair Bolsonaro's 2022 flight to Florida after his defeat, which preceded his 27-year prison sentence for coup plotting. Flavio's departure highlights growing ties between right-wing Latin American leaders and the Trump administration.
