US State Department confirms visas for Flávio Bolsonaro and family

The US State Department confirmed it will issue visas to Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro and his family, allowing their entry into the United States, according to an anonymous senior official. Bolsonaro faces investigations in Brazil for corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion, and had been ordered by the Supreme Federal Court to surrender all passports. His whereabouts remain unknown, with President Lula stating he left Brazil, while President Trump said he heard the family was in Argentina. The senator's departure follows a Federal Police summons and a court ban on leaving Brazil. His brother Eduardo, a fugitive since 2025, resides in the US, and Bolsonaro is also linked to a money laundering probe involving the film "Dark Horse."
