According to reports, Flavio Bolsonaro fled Brazil to the United States after losing the presidential election to Luis Inacio Lula da Silva by 4.4 million votes. It comes as Brazil's top court ordered Bolsonaro to surrender his passports within 24 hours and barred him from leaving the country amid an ongoing money laundering investigation. He missed the deadline, and the court subsequently canceled his passports, but he had already fled. Bolsonaro is facing scrutiny over alleged financial ties to lawyer Wheeler Thomas and separate deals involving financier Banco Master Daniel Varcaro, along with allegations of money laundering and corruption, which he denies. Now, a source close to the Bolsonaro family claims that the Trump administration has granted asylum to Flavio and his immediate family, although US authorities have not publicly confirmed this. Like his son, Jair Bolsonaro traveled to the United States following his defeat in 2022, before returning to Brazil.
