Flavio Bolsonaro and family board flight bound for Ecuador, Argentina says
Argentina said Bolsonaro and his family crossed the border with valid documents before boarding a private flight to Ecuador as Brazil pursued passport surrender orders.
- On Tuesday night, Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro entered Argentina before boarding a private flight to Guayaquil, Ecuador, defying a Supreme Court order banning his exit and requiring passport surrender.
- Following his loss in Sunday's election to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who secured more than 64 million votes, authorities served Bolsonaro with a passport surrender order on Monday.
- Argentina's National Directorate of Migration confirmed Bolsonaro entered with "valid travel documents and no legal impediment," while he traveled on a private flight operated by Baires Fly S.A. bound for Guayaquil.
- State Department officials confirmed the agency will issue visas to the family, though President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva called the escape "shameful," stating "a person who sneaks out of their country must have something to hide."
- Bolsonaro has touted his relationship with President Trump, who previously expressed approval for the family entering the United States, even as he remains under investigation in Brazil for alleged corruption and money laundering.
