The US issues visas to Brazilian smuggler Flavio Bolsonaro The US State Department has confirmed that Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, his wife and two daughters will receive US visas and be able to enter the country. Bolsonaro lost the election to President Lula, is under investigation for corruption and money laundering and was ordered to surrender his passports, but left Brazil despite a court order. "The State Department will issue visas to Flavio Bolsonaro and his family and allow them to enter the United States," the Associated Press quoted a senior official as saying. According to the agency, Bolsonaro enjoys Trump's tacit support, and his brother Eduardo lives in Texas and has previously called on him to leave if he loses. Trump himself said, without evidence, that the elections in Brazil were "rigged". "Those who secretly leave their country do so because they are guilty," AP quoted Lola as saying.
