Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US.

He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president.

Stories from Brazil suggest Flávio Bolsonaro has somehow fled the country despite his passport(s) being confiscated. Not clear yet if true.

"Under Brazilian federal law, all legislators have immunity...To run for President, Bolsonaro decided not to run for his Senate seat. Now, after losing the Presidential election, he no longer has legislative immunity when his Senate term expires in January 2027."

Very Special Episode of no amnesty

Flavio Bolsonaro, the defeated right-wing Brazilian presidential candidate has fled to the US. Bolsonaro it is rumoured will be granted political asylum in the US. Why? Because like his father Jair & Trump he cannot accept democracy & losing an election. Some populists!
