Flávio Bolsonaro Leaves Brazil for the U.S. After Election Defeat
The U.S. plans to issue a visa to Mr. Bolsonaro, a U.S. official said. Brazilian police had asked him to hand over his passports because of his links to an investigation.

What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on two linked points: Lula’s victory and the claim that Flávio Bolsonaro has left Brazil, with several also noting that U.S. visas are being issued to him and his family. The framing diverges on emphasis and certainty: Reuters, AP, and Lula-focused outlets foreground his comments that the departure is “shameful,” while the Guardian, CBS, France 24, Channel 4, and the New York Times focus on reports of his route or destination. Only some outlets, including NPR and The Independent, mention corruption or money-laundering probes.
