Glenn Greenwald(@ggreenwald):Brazil's Federal Police issues a statement that Flavio Bolsonaro is not considered a "fugitive" from justice because he has not been charged with any crimes and there was no order issued for his arrest when he left Brazil for the US. Part of the motive here is to explain away the embarrassment that Brazilian authorities had no idea what was going on in their country all day, but it is also true that -- contrary to many prevailing media and political narratives in the US -- Flavio has not been charged with (let alone convicted of) crimes and no arrest order had yet been issued when he left.
