Former Brazilian congresswoman Joyce Hasselman, once a close ally of Jair Bolsonaro and the leader of his governments in the Chamber of Deputies, warned days before the presidential election that Flavio Bolsonaro allegedly arranged a private plane to flee to Florida if he lost the election. On October 23, Hasselman issued her warning publicly, accompanied by mockery: "6 in the morning. Knock, knock, knock. Three knocks on the door. Someone inside asks: 'Who is this? And the answer comes: 'It's the federal police! Five days later, following his election defeat, Flavio crossed into Argentina with his family and boarded a private plane to the United States via Ecuador. The departure is very much in line with her warning.
