Flavio Bolsonaro lands in Miami despite passport ban

Flavio Bolsonaro lands in Miami despite passport ban

Flavio Bolsonaro arrived in Miami on 28 October, despite the Brazilian Supreme Court cancelling his passports and prohibiting him from traveling abroad, after his claim of election fraud. A senior U. S.

State Department official confirmed visas would be issued for him and his family. The court's order followed earlier steps: federal police had asked him to surrender his passports after he visited his incarcerated father; Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the surrender and barred travel; when he missed the deadline, the court cancelled the passports. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva condemned the departure as disgraceful.
