Flávio Bolsonaro reportedly flees Brazil for US after losing presidential election
Summary
Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro has reportedly left Brazil for the United States after losing Sunday's presidential runoff to incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, according to several outlets citing sources. Reports say he left after refusing to comply with a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports, which were part of a money-laundering probe in which he denies wrongdoing. One report says he travelled via Argentina after police cancelled his passport. The US State Department has said it will issue visas to him and his family. Reports differ on his destination: some say he headed to Florida, while a report citing a Brazilian newspaper says he landed in Miami and was received by his brother Eduardo. He has not conceded defeat.
