US grants visa to Flávio Bolsonaro after Brazil election loss

The United States has granted visas to Flávio Bolsonaro and his family days after he lost Brazil’s presidential election, a senior Trump administration official confirmed. This follows a Brazilian Supreme Court order for him to surrender his passports and remain in the country. The visas were approved amid an ongoing money laundering investigation, which Bolsonaro denies any wrongdoing in. The administration plans to remain silent until the family is safely on American soil, according to the official's remarks to Axios. The move aligns with Washington's pattern of supporting the Bolsonaro family, including past criticism of prosecutions against them. It remains unconfirmed whether Bolsonaro has left Brazil, though earlier reports suggested he fled to Argentina en route to the US.
