Flávio Bolsonaro rumoured to have fled Brazil after presidential election loss

The far-right senator Flávio Bolsonaro has not been seen since Monday and missed a Tuesday-morning deadline to hand his passport to the federal police, fuelling rumours that he may have fled Brazil after losing Sunday’s presidential election.

A supreme court justice cancelled Bolsonaro’s passport minutes after the result in a ruling related to a criminal case against the senator. He until 11am to surrender the document to the federal police, but did not appear.
