  "account": "Flavio Bolsonaro, the defeated right-wing presidential candidate in Brazil, has fled the country despite a court order prohibiting his departure. The 45-year-old son of former President Jair Bolsonaro is reportedly traveling to the United States, according to US media. Despite a ban on his exit from Brazil, he refused to concede defeat in the election, which he lost to incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro is currently under investigation for alleged corruption and money laundering, and with his loss, he will also forfeit his parliamentary immunity. US media have confirmed his travel plans, with CNN reporting he is heading to Florida. The US State Department stated they would issue visas to Bolsonaro and his family, though it did not confirm his travel itinerary.",
  "summary": "The son of jailed ex-leader Jair Bolsonaro faces a corruption and money-laundering investigation and is set to lose parliamentary immunity after his election defeat.",
