- The Argentine government stated it has 'no record of Flavio Bolsonaro entering' the country, while Bolsonaro denied intending to leave, stating in an Instagram video he will 'defend myself from this aberration.'
- His term expires Jan 31, 2027, which will cause him to lose special jurisdiction at the Supreme Court, potentially exposing him to further legal challenges regarding allegations involving Banco Master.
