Lula condemned Bolsonaro's departure for the United States after his defeat in the elections Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva called his rival Flavio Bolsonaro's departure from the country a "shameful act". According to Lula, the senator should have stayed in Brazil and proved his innocence. Bolsonaro lost to Lula in the second round of the October 25 presidential election. After his defeat, he announced that he intended to appeal the results of the vote. On October 26, Brazil's Supreme Court Judge Alexander de Moraes ordered the senator to hand over his passports within 24 hours as part of an investigation into alleged money laundering. Bolsonaro missed the deadline, and his Brazilian passports were subsequently revoked. On October 27, Reuters reported, citing sources, that the politician left Brazil and headed to the United States. The US State Department has confirmed that it will issue visas to Bolsonaro and his family members and allow them to enter the country. At the same time, the Brazilian police stated that there is no official record of Bolsonaro crossing the country's border. His exact departure route has not been publicly confirmed. Bolsonaro is being investigated for alleged money laundering. He denies wrongdoing.
