  "account": "Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, is set to receive a U.S. visa, allowing him to enter the country following his defeat in the recent presidential election. Despite the Brazilian court's order to prevent his exit, Flavio and his family were reportedly granted visas on Tuesday, according to the U.S. State Department. The 45-year-old Bolsonaro arrived in the United States on the same day, as confirmed by CNN and the Washington Post, though the exact location remains undisclosed. Bolsonaro, who is under investigation for alleged corruption and money laundering, is also facing the loss of parliamentary immunity with his election loss. His campaign manager, Rogerio Marinho, expressed surprise and shock over the reports of his departure from Brazil. Lula da Silva, the incumbent president, described Bolsonaro's actions as shameful, suggesting he had something to hide.",
  "summary": "The US state department said it would issue visas to Flavio Bolsonaro and his family, amid reports he had left Brazil despite a court order barring his exit.",
