BOLSONARO IS RUNNING FROM ACCOUNTABILITY - NO COUNTRY SHOULD OFFER HIM SHELTER

Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, has according to media reports left Brazil after his election defeat, at a time when he is facing serious charges and investigations. Bolsonaro is a Brazilian politician and a representative of the right-wing political movement associated with his father. His alleged departure for the US raises questions about whether he is trying to avoid accountability before Brazil's institutions. If it is confirmed that he left the country in violation of court-imposed restrictions, it would be a serious challenge to the rule of law. No country should become a safe haven for politicians fleeing justice. Political office, family background and international connections must not be a guarantee of impunity. Everyone has the right to a fair trial, but no one has the right to be above the law.
