Flávio Bolsonaro Leaves Brazil as U.S. Plans Visas

Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro has left Brazil despite a court order to surrender his passports, with the U.S. State Department reportedly planning to issue visas for him and his family. Bolsonaro missed a 24-hour deadline to hand over his passports after Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes annulled the documents and banned him from leaving the country amid a money laundering investigation. The New York Times reported he traveled to the U.S., while other outlets suggested a route through Argentina, though his exact whereabouts remain unconfirmed. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva criticized the potential departure, saying "those with nothing to hide have nothing to fear." Bolsonaro lost Sunday's runoff with 48.2 percent of votes to Lula's 51.8 percent, and his party has acknowledged the defeat.
