Flávio Bolsonaro's Escape Involved 'Ghost' Agency and Ex-Israeli Intelligence Officer

estadao.com.br (Portuguese) —

Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's escape to the United States involved a complex logistics operation in Argentina, including three border entries with different documents and support from a man identified as a former Israeli intelligence officer, according to a TV Globo investigation. The senator left Brazil after the Supreme Court ordered him to surrender his passports following his father's election defeat. He traveled by private jet to Buenos Aires, then to Puerto Iguazú, while his wife and daughters took a separate route via van. Argentine migration records show three entries within 40 minutes using Italian and Brazilian documents, with only the Italian passport entry validated. The operation allegedly involved a travel agency registered to a parking lot, multiple private jets as backup plans, and US assistance. Flávio denies the escape was a flight, claiming he left "for Brazil" and contesting the election results without evidence.
