Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro and unsuccessful presidential candidate, reportedly left Brazil and arrived in the United States, according to several media outlets. In the presidential election, he lost in Sunday's second round to left-wing president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Der Standard ↗
According to reports, Bolsonaro left despite a decision by the Brazilian court, under which he had to hand over his passports and was not supposed to leave the country. Some media also reported that his passport had been invalidated. His exact whereabouts in the United States have not yet been disclosed. Tagesschau ↗
The US State Department announced that it would grant visas to Flávio Bolsonaro and his family, thereby allowing them entry into the country. According to media reports, US authorities supported his decision to leave Brazil and did not rule out the possibility of granting political asylum. hnonline.sk ↗
Brazilian president Lula called his political rival's departure shameful. Flávio Bolsonaro faces investigations on suspicion of corruption and money laundering. His departure comes after the election defeat, which, according to several commentators, weakens the political influence of the Bolsonaro family in Brazil. Le Figaro ↗
The further course of events will depend on the decisions of Brazilian courts and on whether the United States allows Bolsonaro to remain in the country on the basis of a visa or possible asylum.
