> Flavio Bolsonaro’s clandestine flight to the United States bewildered Brazil and prompted a frantic search for his whereabouts. The Supreme Court had ordered the son of jailed former leader Jair Bolsonaro to surrender his passports, amid concerns he might leave because of ongoing investigations. After losing Sunday’s election, he did not hand them in and instead traveled to the US via Argentina and Ecuador.
