Flávio Bolsonaro heads to Miami via Argentina
The Argentine government confirmed that Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), his wife and daughters passed through the country on Tuesday night (27th) and continued to Ecuador. From there, the family boarded a flight to the United States, where they received visas from the Donald Trump administration.
The government of Argentina, under the command of President Javier Milei, confirmed in the early hours of Wednesday that Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), his wife and daughters passed through the country on Tuesday night (27). According to the Argentine immigration department, the group went to Ecuador and later to the Estados Unidos, where it received visas from the government Donald Trump.
The information was released after questions about the route used by the parliamentary, who had the passport withheld by determination of the minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), after the election of Sunday (25). The official confirmation by Argentina closes speculation about the passage of Flavio through the neighboring country.
Route included Puerto Iguazú and private flight
According to the Argentine migration agency, the group embarked on a private flight operated by the company Baires Fly S.A. at 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, bound for Guayaquil, Ecuador. The information is contained in the flight plan submitted to the authorities.
Before that, according to the Argentine press, two vans crossed the border in Puerto Iguazú, a city in the neighboring province of Misiones of Foz do Iguaçu, shortly after 11 p.m. The vehicles followed at high speed, escorted by a vehicle of the Airport Security Police (PSA), an organ of the Milei government, and entered directly on the runway of the Puerto Iguazú Airport.
According to the Clarín newspaper, inside one of the vehicles was a person in a cap sitting in the rear seats, identified as Flávio Bolsonaro. The source did not detail how the identification was made.
Journey to the Estados Unidos
From Ecuador, Flavio and his family followed to the Estados Unidos. G1 reported that they are on a flight en route to Miami. Mexican lawyer Simón Levy, Trump’s ally, was one of those who said on Tuesday that the senator had already reached the Estados Unidos.
On Tuesday night, Levy wrote on social network X: “Prepare for tomorrow...” In another post, the lawyer suggested Milei’s involvement in the operation for Flavio’s departure. “President Donald Trump will always fight. It will never back down and is changing the course of history throughout the Western Hemisphere. And he has a great ally in Argentina. His name is President Javier Milei,” he said.
Levy also stated: “Stand firm, Brazil! This is just the beginning!” The lawyer had said Tuesday that the operation was designed by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The source did not detail how Levy obtained this information.
Passport retained by STF
Minister Alexandre de Moraes of Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) ordered the retention of Flávio Bolsonaro’s passport after Sunday’s election (25). The measure was taken in the context of ongoing investigations, but the source did not detail the specific reasons for the decision.
Despite the court order, the senator managed to leave Brazil and cross the border with Argentina. The confirmation of the Argentine government raises questions about how the trip was possible in the face of the documentary restriction. The source did not specify whether there was judicial authorization to leave the country.
The case is still under development and may have legal and diplomatic unfoldings. The Boca no Trombone portal will continue to follow the updates on the senator’s journey and the reactions of the Brazilian authorities.
