Flávio Bolsonaro has left Brazil and was aboard a flight headed to the United States despite a court order barring him from travel, according to La Nación. The Argentine outlet reported the development on Tuesday, linking the restriction to his defeat in the recent election.
Coverage of the departure circulated across several outlets. Página|12 reported that Flávio Bolsonaro appeared on the passenger list of a private plane scheduled to take off from Puerto Iguazú toward the United States. Infobae, citing a lawmaker from the PL party, said he was going into exile in the U.S., while Diario El Día de La Plata reported that police were searching for him even as allies said he was already on his way.
Chequeado, meanwhile, framed its coverage around what is actually known about the reported flight from Argentina, signaling that some details remain unconfirmed. The reports do not establish his current location beyond the accounts of the flight.
The travel prohibition followed his electoral loss, though the source material does not specify which court issued it or the terms attached. The episode places the Bolsonaro family's political future back at the center of Brazilian public debate, with allies and authorities offering conflicting accounts of his whereabouts.
What to watch: whether Brazilian judicial authorities confirm the flight and pursue extradition, and whether U.S. officials comment on his arrival.
