Flávio Bolsonaro departed Brazil for the United States on October 28, 2026, hours after a Supreme Federal Court order required him to surrender his passports and remain in the country amid ongoing money-laundering and corruption investigations tied to online gambling and foreign transfers. The move followed his narrow presidential runoff loss to incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and defied the directive from Justice Alexandre de Moraes, prompting federal police to cancel his travel documents. He traveled via Argentina and Ecuador with family members before landing in Miami, where the Trump administration confirmed it would issue entry visas. Allies indicated consideration of political asylum, while Brazilian authorities have no record of his exit and Lula's party has sought an arrest warrant and Interpol notice. His Senate term ends in February 2027, after which he would lose special jurisdiction protections. These legal, electoral, and diplomatic developments shape trader assessments of any near-term return.
