However, according to reports, a statement from the Argentine government has revealed an elaborate escape path. After losing the Brazil presidential elections, right-wing senator Flávio Bolsonaro fled to the United States.
Eduardo has lived in the US since last year after moving there to lobby President Donald Trump to help their father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who was convicted of plotting a coup, the newspaper reported. A statement from the Ecuadorian government is awaited regarding Bolsonaro’s entry into the country. However, according to the Brazilian newspaper O Globo, Bolsonaro arrived in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday and was greeted by his brother Eduardo.
Bolsonaro, his wife and two daughters crossed over into Argentina at 10:50pm local time on Tuesday, October 27.
Bolsonaro and family “entered through the Tancredo Neves International Bridge border crossing in the province of Misiones,” adding that they had valid travel documents to cross the border, according to a statement released by Argentina’s migration department. From Ecuador, the right-wing senator is believed to have fled to the United States, where the State Department has said it will grant Bolsonaro and his family entry visas. Bolsonaro was defeated in Sunday’s run-off vote by incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, despite being projected to win in the first round. This move from the senator comes after he was barred from leaving Brazil by order of Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes.
