nrk.no (Swedish) —

US authorities have granted visas to Flávio Bolsonaro and his family, according to anonymous sources cited by multiple news agencies, as he reportedly fled Brazil amid a money laundering investigation. Bolsonaro, who lost Brazil's presidential election on Sunday, left the country on a flight to the US Tuesday evening, sources told Reuters. He faces a probe into alleged money laundering and a transfer linked to a film about his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro. President-elect Lula da Silva criticized Bolsonaro's departure as shameful, saying he should have stayed to prove his innocence. Bolsonaro had been ordered to surrender his passport but failed to meet the deadline, rendering his travel documents invalid.
