Flavio Bolsonaro's escape: Key figures in his flight to the US

g1.globo.com (Portuguese) —

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro fled to the United States after losing the presidential election, with new documents revealing the logistics and individuals involved in his escape through Argentina. The operation involved two vans crossing into Argentina, carrying his wife and daughters in one, and an Israeli former intelligence officer, a lawyer who defended Jair Bolsonaro, and a driver in the other. The senator left after Brazil's Supreme Court ordered him to surrender his passport. The flight from Argentina to Florida cost $150,000, paid via a US intermediary, though the final contractor remains unknown. US officials denied any government involvement in facilitating his departure.
