Defeated presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro fled Brazil for Miami after the Trump administration granted visas to him and his family
Bolsonaro is under investigation by Brazil’s Supreme Court for alleged corruption, money laundering and tax evasion
Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his family have fled Brazil for Miami after receiving U.S. visas from the Trump administration. This follows the 45-year-old senator losing the 2022 presidential election to incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro has been under investigation by Brazil’s Supreme Court for corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion.
He was served with an order to surrender his Brazilian passports, and his father, Jair Bolsonaro, was also in hiding after losing the 2022 election. Upon arriving in Argentina, Bolsonaro and his family were granted visas on Monday. They crossed into Argentina at 10:50 p.m. Tuesday and then boarded a private charter flight to Ecuador, with their flight plan indicating a destination of Miami.
