Flavio Bolsonaro leaves Brazil for US after election defeat

Flávio Bolsonaro has left Brazil for the United States after his presidential election defeat, according to multiple news agencies, with the US reportedly set to grant him and his family visas. The departure was reported by AP, Reuters, and AFP, citing a senior US State Department official, though the official did not confirm Bolsonaro is en route to the US. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva called the exit "shameful," saying Bolsonaro could have stayed to prove his innocence. Bolsonaro, 45, is under investigation for alleged money laundering and illegal transfers abroad, and had been ordered to surrender his passport, which he reportedly has not done. He lost Sunday's election to Lula, who won 51.8 percent of the vote.
