US grants visas to Brazil's Flavio Bolsonaro and family after election defeat

economictimes.indiatimes.com —

The U.S. State Department will issue visas to Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro and his family following his election loss to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, a senior official confirmed Tuesday. Bolsonaro faces Brazilian Supreme Court investigations into alleged corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion, and was ordered to surrender his passports. His brother, Eduardo Bolsonaro, who lives in Texas, had encouraged him to leave Brazil if he lost. Bolsonaro has refused to concede, alleging election fraud without evidence, and urged the electoral court to nullify the results. His whereabouts remain unclear, and it is unknown if he complied with the passport surrender deadline.
