Brazil's Flavio Bolsonaro Leaves for US After Election Loss and Passport Order
Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, who lost the presidential runoff to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, was ordered by Brazil's Supreme Court to surrender his passports amid a money laundering investigation. After missing the deadline, his passports were canceled, and reports indicate he left Brazil for the United States, though official confirmation of his departure route remains unclear. The US State Department confirmed it will issue visas to Bolsonaro and his family. Lula criticized Bolsonaro's departure as "shameful," urging him to stay and face allegations. Bolsonaro denies wrongdoing and has not conceded defeat, seeking to annul the election results.
