Quick Summary

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro and his family have arrived in Miami after losing the recent presidential election to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. The U.S. government has granted them entry visas despite a Brazilian Supreme Court order demanding he surrender his passports due to a money-laundering investigation, which Bolsonaro denies. Before reaching Miami, they fled Brazil first to Argentina and then Ecuador via private jet before crossing into the United States.

Story summary

Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, left Brazil for the US on October 27, 2026, after losing the presidential election to incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. According to reports, Bolsonaro fled to evade corruption charges and was reportedly issued a visa by the US State Department despite facing an order from the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court to surrender his passports. He arrived in Miami, Florida, on October 26, claiming he left Brazil due to persecution. The Trump administration denied any direct involvement in assisting Bolsonaro's departure, though a former Mossad officer reportedly helped him cross into Argentina before flying to the US.
