  "account": "Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro has fled the country despite a court order preventing him from leaving, according to US media. The son of former jailed leader Jair Bolsonaro lost the recent election to incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who is now set to win a second term. Flavio Bolsonaro refused to concede defeat, and he is under investigation for corruption and money laundering. He has also lost his parliamentary immunity following the election loss. The 45-year-old is heading to Florida, as reported by CNN, but other US media outlets confirm he is traveling to the United States. A police source revealed that Bolsonaro's Brazilian and diplomatic passports have been canceled, though there is no formal record of him leaving the country. He holds Italian nationality since 2023. Flavio Bolsonaro's campaign manager, Rogerio Marinho, expressed shock over the reports, stating that he received a text message from Bolsonaro stating he would talk with the campaign later. Flavio Bolsonaro denied the fear tactic, saying he had no intention of leaving Brazil and would defend himself against the allegations.",
