Jair Bolsonaro, investigated for an attempted coup d'état, hid for two days in the Hungarian embassy. On February 8, police confiscated his passport and arrested a pair of his former aides.
The stay at the embassy suggests that the former president was seeking to take advantage of his friendship with another far-right leader, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. The New York Times analyzed three days of footage from four cameras at the Hungarian Embassy that show Bolsonero arrived late on February 12 and left on February 14.
