Flavio Bolsonaro Leaves Brazil for US After Election Defeat and Passport OrderPreviousNext

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro left Brazil for the United States following his defeat in the presidential election and a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports amid a money laundering investigation, which he denies. His passports were cancelled after he missed the deadline. The US State Department confirmed it would issue visas to Bolsonaro and his family. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva criticized Bolsonaro's departure as "shameful," urging him to stay and face allegations. Bolsonaro has not formally conceded and alleges election irregularities.
