Reports Claim Flávio Bolsonaro Has Left Brazil for US After Election Defeat

Brazilian media outlets have reported that Senator Flávio Bolsonaro may have left the country for the United States after Sunday’s presidential election, which he reportedly lost to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Reports said he missed a deadline to surrender his passports under a Supreme Court order. Sources cited by local outlets claimed he was travelling with his wife and daughters and intended to seek political asylum in the US. Lawmakers from Lula’s Workers’ Party have asked the Supreme Court to order his arrest and place him on Interpol’s Red Notice list. Flávio Bolsonaro has not officially conceded defeat, while his Liberal Party has acknowledged Lula’s reported victory. The claims have not been independently verified.
