Bolsonaro's getaway: from Brazil to Argentina to travel to the US after a stopover in Ecuador
Argentine authorities confirm the itinerary of the Brazilian far-right candidate, who has left his country to avoid an investigation into money laundering. Trump says he would be happy to host him in the US.
Argentina's National Directorate of Migrations (DNM) has confirmed that former Brazilian presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro entered the country on Tuesday at 10:50 PM via the Tancredo Neves international bridge, connecting the Brazilian city of Foz do Iguaçu with Argentina's Puerto Iguazú in the Misiones province. Accompanied by his wife and two daughters, the family boarded a private flight operated by Baires Fly S.A. at 11:30 PM, proceeding to Guayaquil, Ecuador, as per their flight plan, according to Europa Press.
The Gulfstream G400 jet took off from Puerto Iguazú at 12:21 AM on Wednesday, as reported by the flight tracking website Flightradar24. Argentine news outlet Infobae has reported that the stop in Guayaquil serves as a refueling stop before continuing to the United States.
