Story summary

Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, fled Brazil after losing the presidential election to incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Sunday, October 23, 2026. According to reports, he left Brazil on Tuesday and arrived in Florida via a private jet after passing through Argentina and Ecuador. Bolsonaro claims he left due to "persecution" and cites an ongoing money laundering investigation that led to the cancellation of his passports by order of Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The U.S. State Department reportedly issued him a visa, while Bolsonaro maintains he will not concede defeat and accuses the election of having irregularities.
