Flavio Bolsonaro flees Brazil…en route to United State

VIA COLLIN RUGG ON X:

NEW: Flávio Bolsonaro has fled Brazil after his ‘loss’ to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and is en route to the United States, according to Metrópoles.

The report comes after the right-wing senator was ordered to hand over his passport to federal police.

Friends and lawyers say that during a meeting on Monday, Bolsonaro was “afraid of being arrested.”

“A supreme court justice cancelled Bolsonaro’s passport minutes after the result in a ruling related to a criminal case against the senator. He had until 11am to surrender the document to the federal police, but did not appear,” the Guardian reported.

Bolsonaro has refused to concede the election.

The New York Times reports that the election could be annulled because Lula’s former personal attorney made a last-minute decision to keep the polls open, causing chaos and confusion.

Bolsonaro’s father, Brazil’s former president, is under house arrest, and his brother is in “self-imposed exile” in the United States.

That brother, former congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro, recommended that his brother flee Brazil if he lost during an interview last week.

Metrópoles reports that Flávio Bolsonaro is headed to Florida.
