Brazil’s Bolsonaro Stayed Two Nights in the Hungarian Embassy After His Passport Was Seized – Federal Police Investigates if He Sought Political Asylum
In scenes that seem out of a political thriller from the cold war days, it surfaced today that former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro spent two nights at the Hungarian embassy in Brasilia after Brazilian Judiciary seized his passport – and reportedly considered asking for political asylum.
The story was broken by the New York Times, that analyzed three days of footage from four cameras at the Hungarian embassy.
The images show Bolsonaro arriving on the evening of Monday, February 12th, and leaving on the afternoon of Wednesday, February 14th.
Back in February 8, Brazil’s Federal Police confiscated former President Jair Bolsonaro’s passport and arrested two of his former aides on the fabricated charges that ‘they planned a coup’ after he lost the 2022 presidential election.
