    No, he’s under house arrest in Brazil. You are confusing Jair Bolsonaro, the ex-president with Flavio Bolsonaro, his son and failed presidential candidate who fled to Miami. His criminal brother, Eduardo, fled to the US a while back to avoid the law and was convicted in absentia.

    So we have two high profile criminals who the US is protecting because our criminal government protects other ruling criminals in the global crime syndicate.

      The father, Jair, also left the country after losing at 2022, but at that time he was the president, and his term would still last for the rest of the year, so he stayed until the final days of his term, taking a plane to USA at December 29th.

      Which is why at the next year, Lula received the presidential sash from civilians (the tradition was for the previous president to do it).

      After a few months, Jair decided to come back to Brasil when he thought Lula was vulnerable and he could lead the opposition. But he was judged and condemned for the January 8th stuff and his plan to murder Lula, and then, he got arrested. Resulting in his son, Flavio, having to run for presidency in his place, with the goal of freeing him.
