Flávio Bolsonaro's Escape: A Journey Shrouded in Mystery and Misinformation
Far-right Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro fled to the United States with his family after losing the election, amid a money laundering investigation and court orders. He arrived in Miami on Wednesday. Bolsonaro crossed into Argentina on Tuesday night after Brazilian authorities canceled his passports, which he had been ordered to surrender. He boarded a private flight to Ecuador, then continued to the U.S., where President Donald Trump approved his entry. The escape followed a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports over alleged money laundering. Bolsonaro denied plans to flee, while allies spread conflicting information about his whereabouts before his departure was confirmed.
