Ex-Mossad Agent Aided Flavio Bolsonaro's Escape From Brazil

According to CNN Brazil, the former Israeli intelligence officer arrived in Brazil on October 19, 2026, and accompanied the senator from Brasilia to the Argentine border. On October 27, 2026, security cameras captured two commercial vehicles crossing the Tancredo Neves Bridge into Puerto Iguazu, Argentina. Flavio Bolsonaro and the former Mossad agent traveled in one vehicle, while his wife and two daughters were in a second vehicle driven by the son of a former Foz do Iguacu city council member.

After crossing the border without official records, the family boarded a private jet operated by the Argentine airline Baires Fly, which was reportedly arranged with the assistance of Jason Miller, a strategist linked to Donald Trump. The jet refueled in Ecuador before landing near Miami, Florida. Santiago Caputo, an advisor to Argentine President Javier Milei, was reportedly present at the border to ensure the crossing went undocumented.

Brazilian authorities, who are investigating the escape under the internal codename "Operation Alba," are considering freezing the senator's assets. In response to the operation, Brazil's Foreign Ministry summoned Argentina's representative, while United States lawmakers have questioned the Trump administration regarding the potential use of diplomatic resources.
