Report first recorded Oct 29, 04:09
After losing the Brazilian presidential election, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro flew to Miami, ending days of speculation about his whereabouts. The U.S. announced it would issue visas for Bolsonaro and his family, who travelled with him. Brazil had cancelled his passport because he failed to surrender it amid ongoing criminal investigations. Bolsonaro denies any wrongdoing. The former president’s departure has drawn criticism from newly elected President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who said those with nothing to hide have nothing to fear. Bolsonaro is currently the subject of two investigations before Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court: one over alleged irregularities in a $70 million transfer from Banco Master to the film Dark Horse, and another concerning alleged money laundering. He is expected to lose parliamentary immunity on 31 January. Reason: The move underscores the political fallout and legal scrutiny surrounding Brazil’s former president, highlighting potential impacts on Brazil’s political stability and international relations, especially for those monitoring political risk in emerging markets.
