Flávio Bolsonaro leaves Brazil for US after election loss, defying court order

On Tuesday, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro left Brazil for the United States, two sources said, after failing to hand over his passports as the Supreme Court ordered in a money-laundering case he denies. Brazil cancelled his passports, and President Lula called his departure shameful. Bolsonaro lost Sunday's runoff to Lula, who won a fourth term with 51.7% to 48.2%. Bolsonaro's party has accepted the result.

• Justice Alexandre de Moraes barred Bolsonaro from leaving the country on Monday, hours after the vote.
• Bolsonaro had called for the result to be annulled, while his party later accepted it. Trump called the vote 'rigged' with unsubstantiated claims while saying he 'didn't take sides'.
• The Brazilian real fell sharply after Lula's win, with investors citing concern over spending and fiscal challenges.
