A months-long investigative probe conducted by leading Brazilian daily *Folha de S. Paulo* has exposed a well-trodden land escape route out of Brazil, centered on the Foz do Iguaçu border crossing in the southern state of Paraná, that has been repeatedly utilized by high-profile figures tied to the far-right Bolsonaro political movement to evade ongoing judicial scrutiny. The latest individual documented using this corridor is sitting lawmaker Flavio Bolsonaro, eldest son of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, who recently crossed the frontier into neighboring Argentina alongside members of his immediate family. This border passage has a well-documented history of being used by other prominent Bolsonaro allies facing legal repercussions, including former federal congresswoman Carla Zambelli and ex-Federal Highway Police director Silvinei Vasques. Records show Zambelli traversed the border by private vehicle before continuing her international travel circuit that eventually took her to the United States and Italy. Vasques, by contrast, was intercepted and detained at the international airport in Asunción, Paraguay, mid-departure as he attempted to board an outbound commercial flight bound for El Salvador. The investigation also confirmed the presence of Leonardo Rodrigues de Jesus, widely known by the nickname “Leo Indio” and a first cousin to Jair Bolsonaro’s eldest sons, in the border region. A fugitive from Brazilian judicial authorities, he is wanted for alleged direct involvement in the violent January 8, 2023, insurrection that saw thousands of Bolsonaro supporters storm, vandalize, and occupy the core federal government buildings in Brasília in a failed attempt to overturn the 2022 general election results. Court documents and local media interviews confirm he has been residing openly in Puerto Iguazú, the Argentine border city directly across from Foz do Iguaçu, since early 2025. During a recent appearance on a local Argentine television broadcast, Leo Indio voiced explicit approval of Flavio Bolsonaro’s decision to leave Brazilian territory, and went on to mischaracterize the widespread looting, arson, and violent assaults on security personnel that defined the 2023 Brasília insurrection as an entirely “peaceful” demonstration. Data previously released by Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court (STF) in November 2024 shows a total of 61 Brazilian nationals wanted in connection with the 2023 coup attempt are currently residing as fugitives in Argentina, though the high court did not publish a breakdown of how many of these individuals entered the country via unmonitored or informal land border crossings rather than official ports of entry. The *Folha* investigation also highlights a series of critical, as-yet-unanswered questions surrounding Flavio Bolsonaro’s unannounced departure from Brazil: no public records confirm how he traveled from the national capital Brasília to the Paraná border region, what exact overland or transit route he used, and which third parties may have coordinated or facilitated his cross-border travel to avoid detection by federal law enforcement.
