Brazilian authorities summoned Argentina’s top envoy in the country on Friday to explain President Javier Milei’s role in helping Flávio Bolsonaro flee Brazil following his election defeat.

Argentina’s chargé d’affaires was called in after it was revealed that Bolsonaro crossed into neighboring Argentina before boarding a US-bound flight, according to a Brazilian diplomat who asked not to be identified discussing a private meeting. The defeated candidate crossed the border late Tuesday after a Brazilian judge ordered him to surrender his passports deeming him a flight risk. Bolsonaro faces multiple criminal investigations in Brazil, including a multimillion-dollar money laundering probe.
