What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on Flavio Bolsonaro’s post-defeat disappearance and the passport action, but they frame it differently. The Independent uses a broader, more procedural headline about police canceling his passports, and its extract alone says he was ordered to surrender his documents in a money laundering investigation. Sky News is the only outlet here to foreground the flight claim, saying he has fled to Miami or Florida according to local media.
