As Brazil loser Flávio Bolsonaro flees Brazil, a look at the cases against him

Flavio Bolsonaro, a Brazilian right-wing presidential candidate, arrived in the United States with his family on Wednesday. He declared himself the legitimate leader of Brazil, despite losing the recent election to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro fled Brazil after the Supreme Court ordered him to surrender his passports.

He has faced criminal investigations for alleged financial crimes, which he claims are a political persecution by left-leaning justices. US President Donald Trump has not commented on Bolsonaro's statements, but the US State Department has granted visas for Bolsonaro and his family to enter the country.
