US grants visa to Flávio Bolsonaro after Brazil election loss

nos.nl (Dutch) —

The US government plans to grant a visa to Flávio Bolsonaro and his family after he fled Brazil following his election loss to President Lula da Silva. US officials confirmed he is welcome in the country. Bolsonaro left Brazil Monday after being ordered to surrender his passports amid investigations into money laundering, corruption, and tax evasion. He had previously denied plans to leave, calling the order an intimidation tactic. President Lula called the departure shameful, saying the innocent have no reason to flee. Bolsonaro's father, Jair, also fled to the US after losing to Lula and was later sentenced to 27 years for a coup attempt.
