Defeated presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro fled Brazil and was on his way to Ecuador from Argentina, Argentina's government said on October 28, 2026. He lost Sunday's presidential election to incumbent Lula and had refused to concede, while facing multiple corruption investigations. France 24 reported that Bolsonaro and his family were granted United States visas the day before by the Trump administration. Deutsche Welle had reported on October 27 that he had fled to the United States, and the two accounts differ on his destination. Brazilian authorities have not publicly responded in the available coverage.
