Bolsonaro planned to flee to Argentina, Brazil police say
Brazilian authorities have revealed that President Jair Bolsonaro was planning to flee to Argentina. According to the Federal Police, an investigation uncovered a plot involving Bolsonaro and his inner circle to seek refuge in Argentina to avoid potential consequences related to ongoing corruption probes. The escape plan was allegedly devised amidst mounting pressure on the administration and Bolsonaro himself.
The plan was brought to light after the Federal Police conducted raids on Tuesday, which resulted in the seizure of several electronic devices and documents from individuals close to the President. Authorities have not disclosed the specific details of the plan or how advanced the preparations were, but they have confirmed that Bolsonaro’s intention to seek asylum in Argentina was a prominent feature of the scheme.
President Bolsonaro has vehemently denied the allegations, dismissing them as a smear campaign orchestrated by his political opponents. In a press conference following the raids, Bolsonaro labeled the accusations as “fake news” and claimed that they were aimed at undermining his government.

The unfolding developments have sparked intense speculation and controversy in Brazil, with supporters and critics of Bolsonaro clashing over the veracity of the allegations. As the investigation proceeds, further details are expected to emerge, shedding light on the extent of the purported escape plan and its potential implications for the Brazilian political landscape.
