Senator Flávio Bolsonaro Flees to US After Election Loss

nos.nl (Dutch) —

Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro has left Brazil with his wife and two daughters for the United States, following his defeat in the presidential election runoff on Sunday to incumbent President Lula. The eldest son of convicted former President Jair Bolsonaro departed after Brazil's Supreme Court ordered him to surrender his passports as part of a money laundering investigation, which he denies. He lost the runoff with Lula receiving nearly 52 percent of the vote, and he refuses to accept the result. The exact route of his travel remains unclear, as Argentina reported no evidence he passed through that country. His brother Eduardo Bolsonaro resides in Miami, where the family has ties. His father is under house arrest for a 27-year sentence related to efforts to overturn the 2022 election.
