Brasilien: Bolsonaro nach Wahlniederlage offenbar auf dem Weg in die USA
Per gerichtlicher Anordnung sollte Flávio Bolsonaro eigentlich seinen Pass abgeben. Die Frist dafür ließ er verstreichen – und hat nun offenbar das Land verlassen.
Brazilian politician Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, is reportedly heading to the United States after his defeat in the country's presidential election. According to multiple sources, including Reuters, Bolsonaro has missed a 24-hour deadline to surrender his passports to Brazilian authorities, with documents subsequently being cancelled.
The senator, who narrowly lost to incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Lula) in a recent runoff, has been questioned about alleged money laundering. Despite his denials, Bolsonaro follows in his father's footsteps, who also traveled to the US after initially refusing to accept his 2022 election loss to Lula.
