Headline: UNCAPTIONED: US Promises Visas for Flavio Bolsonaro After Departure From Brazil
Caption: US Promises Visas for Flavio Bolsonaro After Departure From Brazil. Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro has left Brazil for America after losing Sunday's presidential election, sources say. The US State Department says it will issue entry visas to Bolsonaro and his immediate family. His departure followed his refusal to surrender passports under a Supreme Court order concerning money laundering. Bolsonaro denies wrongdoing and previously promised to remain in Brazil and defend himself against the allegations. Sources say his passports were cancelled after he missed the deadline for handing them to authorities. Federal police say he did not leave through any regular migration point, leaving his route unclear. Bolsonaro has not conceded defeat, although his Liberal Party acknowledged Lula's victory in the presidential election. Lula called the departure shameful, saying Bolsonaro should have remained in Brazil to prove his innocence. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
