Far-right senator banned from leaving country as supreme court judge’s ruling makes reference to money-laundering case
The far-right senator Flávio Bolsonaro was banned from leaving Brazil and ordered to surrender his passports just hours after his dramatic loss in the presidential election to the leftist president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
The ruling was issued by supreme court justice Alexandre de Moraes, the same justice who oversaw the trial of the senator’s father, the former president Jair Bolsonaro, for attempting a coup.
Bolsonaro posted a video saying the decision was based on an interview his brother, Eduardo Bolsonaro, gave last Friday urging his brother to leave Brazil if he lost the election.
It seems that he’s gone. Went to Argentina and got into a private plane to USA (still under investigation).

Interesting how the fugitive fascists all end up seeking safety in the US… wonder why that is all of a sudden.

I wonder where the American fugitive fascists will run to hide?
Israel actually
Russia
It used to be that Nazis fled to Argentina. I guess there’s a better safe haven for them now.
