U.S. Grants Visas to Flávio Bolsonaro and Family After Election Defeat
According to NPR, the United States announced on 28 October that it will issue visas to former Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his family, after his defeat in the 26 October election. The visa decision follows a series of legal disputes in Brazil. On 26 October, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered Bolsonaro to surrender all passports and barred him from leaving the country amid a money-laundering probe.
After he missed the court-ordered deadline, the court cancelled his passports. Defying the order, Bolsonaro flew to the United States on 28 October, where he is now set to receive the visas.
