Security Minister Patricia Bullrich denied that supporters of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro were seeking asylum in Argentina after participating in the country’s attempted coup in 2023. Brazilian Federal Police told CNN Brazil on Friday that 143 people who allegedly participated in the January attacks remain at large and that at least 48 of them are in Argentina. However, Bullrich denied receiving red alerts or information from the Brazilian Federal Police or Interpol. CNN also reported that the Federal Police will suggest to the Supreme Federal Court that it begin the process of extraditing the fugitives. Twenty days before the stream, Cerimedo met Eduardo Bolsonaro in Buenos Aires, although he denies both things being related.
