The Brief
- Flávio Bolsonaro, Brazil's losing presidential candidate, arrived in the US after fleeing the country.
- He met his brother Eduardo Bolsonaro, who is already in self-imposed exile in the US.
- Brazil's federal police canceled his passports after he failed to surrender them.
Flávio Bolsonaro, the candidate who lost Brazil’s presidential election, arrived in Florida on Tuesday evening, according to individuals briefed on the matter. His arrival followed his departure from Brazil, where he faces corruption and money laundering investigations.
A supreme court judge in Brazil had previously imposed a travel ban on Bolsonaro after his election loss to incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The judicial order was linked to ongoing criminal investigations and came shortly after Lula’s narrow re-election victory.
Brazil’s federal police canceled Bolsonaro’s passports after he failed to surrender them by Tuesday morning.
