Former Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, who fled to the United States after losing the runoff, has stated that he did not receive any assistance from any governments in his escape. Despite being under a travel ban, he was able to cross Argentina and Ecuador and eventually arrive in Miami on October 28, three days after his defeat.
Bolsonaro, 45, claims he managed the journey "on my own," without receiving any help from any government. The circumstances of his departure from Brazil have raised questions, particularly regarding his legal entry into Argentina and whether he received aid from Argentine President Javier Milei. Bolsonaro has criticized Brazil's judiciary, calling it politically motivated, and stated that he will take his departure to his grave.
The former senator has not been charged with any crimes, but he was ordered to surrender his passports due to ongoing corruption and money-laundering investigations. He expects to face imprisonment once his parliamentary immunity ends in early 2027. In Argentina, investigations are underway to determine if officials in Milei's administration used state resources to help Bolsonaro leave the country.
