We Finally Found Flavio Bolsonaro

Flavio Bolsonaro's post-defeat itinerary now runs through Miami. The far-right Brazilian senator, who lost Sunday's presidential runoff to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, flew into Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport with his wife and two daughters on a Gulfstream IV jet after an overland crossing into Argentina and a stop in Ecuador, reportedly to avoid Brazilian airspace, per the Guardian. The BBC has video of the 45-year-old and his family disembarking in Miami. US officials say visas will be issued to the clan, and President Trump—who called them "fine people" and the election "very strange"—has signaled support for their move, per the Guardian.

Lula, meanwhile, condemned the escape as "shameful," accusing the Bolsonaro family of treating Brazil as their "second homeland," describing their "first homeland" as "licking the boots of the US, as they've become accustomed to doing." "I regret that he left Brazil, because he could have stayed here and proven that the accusations are not true," Lula added, per the AP, which notes that Bolsonaro's father, former Brazilian leader Jair Bolsonaro, also fled to Florida after losing to Lula in 2022; he went back three months later. Brazilian federal police face scrutiny for not blocking Flavio's departure, as reports suggest the flight plan was laid out weeks ago amid fears of criminal exposure for Bolsonaro and his allies.
