Flavio Bolsonaro has reportedly fled Brazil for US amid money laundering probe days after presidential election

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro has reportedly left for the United States after his passports were canceled earlier Tuesday, according to sources cited by Folha de S.Paulo and Reuters. The move comes amid an ongoing money laundering probe and days after his defeat in Sunday's presidential election.

The Supreme Court had ordered Flavio Bolsonaro, the eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, to surrender his passports to prevent him from leaving the country. However, the senator had not complied with the order as of Tuesday, according to the AFP news agency.

AFP cited a police official as confirming that Bolsonaro's passports had been canceled, though there was no official record of him having left the country. The situation remains fluid as authorities continue their investigation.
