Flavio Bolsonaro, who left Brazil after losing the presidential election, has announced plans to seek permanent residency in the United States.
In an interview with The Epoch Times, Bolsonaro said he intended to continue his political activities from the US, maintaining contact with supporters and taking part in political decisions in Brazil.
He thanked US President Donald Trump and the American people for welcoming his family. He said he was pursuing permanent residency through legal channels and would wait for a suitable opportunity to meet US administration officials.
Bolsonaro left Brazil after losing the election to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. His departure came amid legal investigations and concerns over possible prosecution.
Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court is investigating allegations of illegal financing linked to a film about his father. He has also reportedly been named in a separate money laundering investigation.
President Lula criticised his departure, while Trump expressed doubts about Brazil’s election results and allowed Bolsonaro and his family to enter the United States.
