Flavio Bolsonaro on way to Ecuador from Argentina after fleeing Brazil

Where in the world is Flavio Bolsonaro? The defeated far-right presidential candidate has left Brazil despite a court order banning him from exiting the country. Argentine authorities this Wednesday said he boarded a flight from Argentina to Ecuador. Meanwhile, sources at the U.S. State Department have said Bolsonaro and his family will receive entry visas for the United States. The son of jailed ex-leader Jair Bolsonaro has refused to concede defeat since losing Sunday's vote and is currently under investigation in Brazil for corruption and money laundering. Earlier, we spoke to our Washington, D.C. correspondent, Fraser Jackson. A senior State Department official has confirmed to me that the U.S. will be welcoming defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro. In a short statement, the official said the State Department will issue visas to Flavio Bolsonaro and his family and allow them entry into the United States. While high profile figures seeking to flee their country and come to the U.S. often enter on tourist visas or on a diplomatic or official visa. And once they arrive, they can apply for political asylum. But it's unclear if Bolsonaro intends on applying for that. His fleeing, though, has already been criticized by the newly reelected President Lula, who said this is what the Bolsonaro family is like Brazil is their second country the US is their first Lula there referring to events four years ago when Flávio's father Jair Bolsonaro lost his re-election bid and fled to Florida two days before his presidential term ended a photo of that time of him sitting alone at the table eating KFC went viral at that time as well he then settled into a residential life for a few months before he headed back to Brazil where he was ultimately found guilty for his role in an attempted coup to overturn the election results which had ousted him in the first place. The elder Bolsonaro is currently serving a 27-year sentence on house arrest and had hoped that his son winning the presidency would result in his freedom. But Flavio now appears to be following in his father's footsteps by becoming the latest Bolsonaro heading stateside. His younger brother Eduardo is also in the US. He is in self-imposed exile as he evades a four-year, two-month prison sentence for coercion and judicial interference. Eduardo maintains close ties to the Trump administration and was granted permanent residency by Trump's State Department in July this year.
