Flávio Bolsonaro entered Argentina and reportedly flew on to Ecuador
Flávio Bolsonaro and his family entered Argentina on Tuesday night through a border crossing in Misiones, according to Argentina’s migration authority.
The authority said they had valid travel documents and faced no legal impediment to entering the country.
They later boarded a private flight bound for Ecuador, according to the flight plan; this conflicts with an earlier statement from Argentine authorities that Bolsonaro had not entered the country.
The new account reverses Argentina’s earlier denial of reports about his presence there.
Bolsonaro lost Brazil’s presidential run-off election to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who will remain in office until 2030, and said he had been barred by courts from leaving Brazil.
A Brazilian Supreme Court judge ordered an investigation into possible foreign campaign funding, while a US official said visas would be granted to Bolsonaro and his family; President Donald Trump said he did not know Bolsonaro’s current whereabouts.
Argentina’s migration authority said Flávio Bolsonaro and three family members entered the country on Tuesday night, contradicting an earlier Argentine government denial.
Folha reported that the group later boarded a private flight bound for Guayaquil, Ecuador.
The migration authority said the family entered through the Tancredo Neves International Bridge in Misiones at 22:50 on October 27.
The reported flight plan listed a Baires Fly S.A. flight to Guayaquil at 23:30.
Earlier reports had said Bolsonaro was in Argentina and might fly to the United States, but the sources differ on the details.

What people are saying
It's all false. He never entered the country.
The National Directorate of Migration informs that at 22:50 on 27/10, Flavio Nantes Bolsonaro, Fernanda Antunes Figueira Bolsonaro, Carolina Figueira Bolsonaro and Luiza Figueira Bolsonaro entered through the Tancredo Neves International Bridge border crossing, in the province of Misiones, with valid travel documents and no legal impediment to entering the country.
I heard he was in Argentina, but I don't know where he is now.
But I would certainly get quite close to him.
