    Flávio’s departure defies an order by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes prohibiting the defeated candidate from leaving the country and instructing him to surrender his passports. The ruling is connected to an investigation into Flávio’s alleged participation in a money-laundering scheme. (He’s also being investigated as part of a probe into the financing of a biopic of his father.) By Tuesday morning, the younger Bolsonaro had missed the deadline to hand over his travel documents, and the Brazilian federal police were looking into whether he had left the country via Argentina.

    He’s not yet a US immigrant, but it appears he violated laws by leaving Brazil.

    Why do all these failed wanna be dictators end up fleeing to the US and end up being greeted in Florida? Its almost like there is a pipeline of shitty people coming and going from the state…

      He’s fleeing because winning the election was the only way to extend his immunity to prosecution. He has a bunch of pending cases regarding corruption, tax evasion, a financing scandal, and money laundering.

    In the words of a certain bronzed and bloated baboon: “They’re not sending their best… They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us.”

    But of course we’re accepting this scumbag. Because he fits in so well with those currently in charge.

    I’ve seen another story saying he was ordered to hand in his passport and he said he was going to comply.

      Well, if you read the article, he didn’t hand them in and they were canceled. Also:

      A senior Brazilian Federal Police official said Bolsonaro has not exited the country via any regular migration point.

      Probably, took off on someone’s private yacht or something like that.

        They say he crossed over land to Argentina and had a plane waiting there to take him to the US, but bailed on the last part (at least with that particular plane) when the plot was revealed.
