This was confirmed on Monday by the US law firm AG Immigration, which specializes in visa matters. The right-wing politician is being targeted by Brazilian investigators in his home country because of the storming of the presidential palace in the capital Brasília by Bolsonaro supporters.
The deselected Bolsonaro flew to the US state of Florida at the end of December at the end of his term of office. Contrary to tradition, he did not take part in the inauguration of his successor Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Then, on January 8, hundreds of Bolsonaro supporters stormed the presidential palace, the congress building and the seat of the Supreme Court in Brasília.
Her anger was vented at the election victory of the left-leaning Lula, who narrowly defeated Bolsonaro in a runoff and has been in office since the beginning of the year. Bolsonaro later distanced himself from the attack on the presidential palace. At the same time, he denied any responsibility for it.
US lawmakers called on President Joe Biden to revoke Bolsonaro’s visa in response to the violence in Brasília. Bolsonaro is said to be in Florida on a diplomatic visa, which expires on Tuesday.
