Präsidentenwahl in Brasilien: Wahlverlierer Bolsonaro flieht offenbar – USA erteilen Visum
Nach Berichten über eine Ausreise des unterlegenen Präsidentschaftskandidaten Bolsonaro sagen die USA ihm Hilfe zu. Sein Aufenthaltsort bleibt unklar – auch seine Partei scheint ihn nicht zu kennen.
In a recent development, the defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro has reportedly fled the country, according to media reports. The US has granted him and his family visas to enter the United States. However, it is unclear where he currently is, though multiple reports suggest his son may have fled from Argentina to the US.
President Donald Trump initially doubted the legitimacy of Bolsonaro's election results and sided with him. Bolsonaro's brother already resides in the United States, while his father is considered an ideological ally of the US President. Despite a court ruling ordering him to surrender his passports within 24 hours, Bolsonaro did not comply.
The judge, Alexandre de Moraes, declared his passports invalid and banned him from leaving the country, stemming from a corruption investigation involving alleged money laundering related to online sports betting. Bolsonaro denies any wrongdoing. His campaign coordinator Rogério Marinho was unaware of Bolsonaro's whereabouts.
