Flávio Bolsonaro fled Brazil to the US via Argentina after losing the presidential election and failing to surrender his passports

Brazil's Supreme Court ordered Flávio Bolsonaro, son of jailed ex-president Jair Bolsonaro, to forfeit his passports after his electoral defeat on Sunday amid ongoing investigations. He did not hand them in and instead traveled through Argentina and Ecuador to reach the United States. His disappearance triggered a search in Brazil.
