Former President Jair Bolsonaro was seen wandering the streets of Orlando, Florida, after shamefully leaving Brazil with a trail of damages behind him. According to Istoe Magazine, he wants to retire in Italy and has asked the Italian embassy in Brazil to speed up citizenship procedures for him and his family. 

Why is he so anxious to speed up the process? It's only a matter of time until Judge Alexandre de Moraes issues an arrest warrant for all the damage he has caused, mainly for spreading fake information about AIDS' link to the Covid-19 vaccine, which he was charged with by the Federal Police.

What is he doing in the United States, though? Well, he's taken Florida as a safe haven to evade Brazilian justice, but little does he know that when the warrant is issued, the FBI will knock on his door, handcuff him and ship him all the way back to the homeland.

However, his only option is arriving to Italy on time and obtain citizenship because Italy does not have an extradition treaty.

According to officials, Bolsonaro broke tradition by reportedly leaving Brazil before his political rival, Luiz Ignacio Lula Da Silva's inauguration. He made sure to leave a damaging trace behind. 

Just days before leaving office, he issued a pardon for 74 police officers convicted in the massacre at Sao Paulo's Carandiru prison carried out more than 30 years ago.

An official document concerning the pardon indicates that this is a pass to officers whose crimes "were not considered extremely serious" although being committed in the line of duty more than three decades ago.

Moreso, a report on January 7 stated that the Brazilian Amazon deforestation was up 150% during Bolsonaro's last month.
