MIAMI.– After several days out of public view, the Brazilian senator Flavio Bolsonaro reappeared this Sunday in Florida, where he attended an evangelical religious service with his wife, his brother Eduardo and other members of his family. His return to the scene occurred while investigations into the operation are advancing in Brazil that allowed him leave the country after his electoral defeat, a plot that now has like new protagonist to a former Mossad agent, the Israeli intelligence service.

As revealed by the program Fantastic, from the Brazilian network TV Globo, Menachem Booky Halevy, a former member of Israel's intelligence services, is being investigated for his alleged participation in the operation. The Israeli he would have traveled in one of the vans that crossed the border between Brazil and Argentina minutes before the vehicle in which the senator and his family were supposedly traveling.

Halevy would not be a character outside Israeli circles of power. According to the report, he appears in photographs with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and he had visited Brazil three other times this year. His last entry into the country was recorded on October 19, a few days before the operation.

The former agent was traveling in one of the two vans of the Brazilian company Dallas Turismo that participated in the border crossing. He was in the same vehicle Robert George Alexandre, a lawyer who was part of the defense of former President Jair Bolsonaro. The driver, Neri Luiz Dala Corte, stated that he had been hired to transport two men to the Puerto Iguazú airport and denied having seen members of the Bolsonaro family.

Argentine immigration records also revealed striking movements. According to information broadcast by TV Globo, Flavio Bolsonaro would have been registered three times in the same truck: first, at 10:37 p.m., with your Italian passport; three minutes later, with his driver's license, and finally, at 11:11 p.m., with his Brazilian passport. The two entries made with Brazilian documents were canceled and only the one registered with the Italian passport remained valid.

The departure from Brazil would also have involved differentiated air logistics for the senator and his family. Flavio would have boarded a Cessna Citation Excel plane linked to lawyer Willer Tomaz, close to the Brazilian leader. His wife, Fernanda, and his two daughters would have left Brasilia on another aircraft to Cascavel, in the west of the state of Paraná. At 8:02 p.m., the three boarded a Dallas Tourism van that crossed the border hours later.

Tomaz, who is being investigated by the Supreme Federal Court in two cases for alleged money laundering related to online betting and transfers of former banker Daniel Vorcaro for the film Dark Horse, he denied before TV Globo that the trip had been made on a plane linked to him.

The investigation into the senator's departure was known after Flavio left Brazil last Wednesday, after the electoral defeat against Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and in the midst of judicial measures that, according to him, are part of a persecution against his family. Judge Alexandre de Moraes he had ordered him to hand over his passports.

As reported The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, the trip to the United States would have been organized with the intervention of Jason Miller, advisor to President Donald Trump, who would have chartered an aircraft to transport the senator. Trump, for his part, said Saturday that Flavio could remain in the United States "as long as he wanted", although he ruled out that he planned to meet with him. He also once again questioned the Brazilian electoral result and described the elections as "a shame".

First appearance

The flavio's first public appearance since his arrival in the United States occurred in an evangelical church in the Celeiro community, in Florida. The senator posed with his wife, his brother Eduardo and his sister-in-law Heloísa, as well as pastors José Maurício Fernandes, known as Paizão, and Alice Fernandes, nicknamed Mãezona.

During the service, the pastor addressed the senator with a message about his electoral defeat, although without explicitly mentioning it. "You neither won nor lost, because with Jesus you do not lose. And if you lose, you keep winning", he told her.

In parallel, Flavio confronted the Globo group again, to whom he accused him of trying to destroy his reputation and preparing a report on his departure from the country without giving him the right to reply. In a message published in X, he maintained that he had accepted an interview with Fantastic with the condition that it be broadcast in its entirety and without prohibited topics, but that the network decided not to advance.

NOTE AO BRAZIL

I was sought by several vehicles this week, including Rede Globo, who invited me for an exclusive interview. Oil with a simple condition: that it was displayed in its entirety, semi-cuts and semi-prohibited themes. The emissora preferred not to continue adiante. Hair...

The senator also denounced alleged judicial persecution and questioned the measures adopted by the Brazilian Justice against him and his family. "I am not leaving Brazil, I am leaving for Brazil", he wrote, in a phrase with which he sought to present his departure as a political decision and not as a withdrawal from the investigations.
