Flavio Bolsonaro Leaves Brazil for Florida After Election Loss

masrawy.com (Arabic) —

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, left Brazil for the United States after losing the presidential election to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, raising questions about the right-wing opposition's future. Flavio, 45, did not formally concede defeat and cited alleged electoral irregularities. A Supreme Court judge ordered him to surrender his passports amid a money laundering investigation, but he failed to comply before departing via Argentina and Ecuador to Florida. President Lula called the departure "shameful," while former President Jair Bolsonaro remains imprisoned for 27 years over an alleged coup plot. U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed Flavio's arrival, calling the Bolsonaro family "good people."
