Flávio Bolsonaro has left Brazil, is on his way to the US with his wife and children

Brazilian senator Flávio Bolsonaro has left the country for the United States with his family following his defeat in the presidential elections. His departure comes after the Brazilian Supreme Court ordered him to surrender his passports amid an investigation into alleged money laundering, which he denies. Bolsonaro lost to incumbent president Lula, receiving nearly 52% of the votes. Speculation surrounds how he entered the U.S., with reports of a canceled private flight from Argentina to Miami. His father, former president Jair Bolsonaro, is under house arrest after being convicted for attempting to overturn the 2022 election results. The January 8 attack on Brazil's democratic institutions by Bolsonaro's supporters followed his electoral loss.
