Flávio Bolsonaro leaves Brazil despite travel ban

11 sources

Flávio Bolsonaro, who lost Brazil’s presidential election to incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, left Brazil with his wife and two daughters and was travelling to the United States, according to his allies. The Supreme Court had barred him from leaving the country and ordered him to surrender his passports as part of an investigation into suspected money laundering, which he denies. Police sources said his passports were declared invalid after he missed the deadline to hand them over.
