Flávio Bolsonaro denies government aid in US flight
Senator Flávio Bolsonaro has stated in an interview with The New York Times that he believes his eventual outcome will be imprisonment due to ongoing investigations in Brazil. Speaking from Miami, the senator denied receiving any assistance from any government to leave Brazil, describing his departure as a spontaneous and solitary decision.
However, reports from The New York Times, citing US officials, contradict this claim. According to those sources, the private jet used for his trip to the United States was arranged by a White House staffer, and his entry into the country was personally authorized by President Donald Trump. The senator's departure occurred shortly after the Supreme Court (STF) ordered the seizure of his passports to prevent him from fleeing investigations into alleged corruption, money laundering, and currency evasion.
In the Brazilian Senate, Senator Randolfe Rodrigues has requested the annulment of Flávio Bolsonaro's recent remote vote, arguing that the senator failed to officially communicate his absence from the country as required by Senate regulations.
