Quick Glance: Bolsonaro Sought Refuge in Hungarian Embassy Amid Investigations
- Brazil’s federal police confiscated former President Jair Bolsonaro’s passport and arrested a pair of his former aides on accusations of plotting a coup after he lost the 2022 presidential election on Feb. 8.
- Security-camera footage from the embassy shows Bolsonaro waiting to be let into the Hungarian Embassy in Brazil four days later. He appeared to stay at the embassy for the next two days, accompanied by security guards, the Hungarian ambassador, and staff members.
- Bolsonaro's stay at the embassy suggests an attempt to evade the Brazilian justice system by leveraging his friendship with far-right Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, as he faces criminal investigations at home.
- The New York Times analyzed footage from four cameras in the Hungarian Embassy, confirming Bolsonaro's arrival on Feb. 12 and departure on Feb. 14, where he mostly remained out of sight during his stay.
