Flavio Bolsonaro flees Brazil to USA

In another sad sign of how bad the situation is in the neo-communist regime Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva set up in Brazil, now Jair Bolsonaro's son Flavio has had to flee to the USA:

Flavio Bolsonaro, the Brazilian senator who lost Sunday's presidential election, has left for the United States instead of complying with a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports, two sources told Reuters.

His destination, arrival time, and asylum plans were unclear. The Trump administration has previously alleged that Flavio's father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, was a victim of judicial persecution.

Leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has accused Washington of colluding with the Bolsonaros to restore them to power. The departure threatens to deepen the rift between the Americas' two biggest countries by population.

Trump said Monday that Brazil's vote "looked like another rigged election," without mentioning the departure.

Bolsonaro and family have now been given visas in the USA:

Flávio Bolsonaro, defeated by Lula in Sunday's election, and his family have been granted US visas, according to a senior State Department official, after leaving Brazil for the US on Tuesday.

Two close allies told The Washington Post he feared arrest within the week, as he faces investigations over ties to a banker accused of misconduct and a man suspected of laundering money. By early evening, he was in the US, one said, without saying where. [...]

According to a confidant who advises the Bolsonaro family, Bolsonaro was terrified by the order to surrender his passports, issued in a criminal inquiry over alleged money laundering. The order bore the signature of Alexandre de Moraes, a Supreme Court justice who had presided over the case of Jair Bolsonaro.

When horrors like these happen, it's clear democracy is collapsing in Brazil, and we can only hope Trump's administration will do something to turn the tide. Lula da Silva is definitely a most repellent man, and is clearly setting up a communist dictatorship there.
