Brazil's federal police said that messages found on the telephone of embattled former President Jair Bolsonaro showed that at one point, he wanted to flee to Argentina and request political asylum, according to documents seen Wednesday (August 20, 2025) by the Associated Press.
Mr. Bolsonaro is currently awaiting a Supreme Court ruling about an alleged coup attempt, and on Wednesday (August 20, 2025) found out he might face another case as police formally accused him and one of his sons, Eduardo Bolsonaro, of obstruction of justice in connection with his pending trial.
