Flávio Bolsonaro routed his escape flight through Guayaquil, Ecuador, to avoid Brazilian airspace after the Supreme Court cancelled his passports for ignoring a deadline to surrender them.

Flávio Bolsonaro, the 45-year-old Brazilian senator and losing presidential candidate, slipped out of Brazil via Argentina and Ecuador using an Italian passport after Brazil's Supreme Court cancelled his regular and diplomatic documents for missing a surrender deadline.

Trump called the Bolsonaro family 'fine people' and said of the election: 'It was very strange, and I thought it was terrible.'

Lula condemned the flight as 'shameful', saying Bolsonaro could have stayed and proved the corruption allegations untrue.

Bolsonaro faces Supreme Court probes into alleged money laundering, tax evasion and corruption, and loses his Senate immunity from prosecution when his term ends in February.
