Flavio Bolsonaro has arrived in the United States, less than a week after losing Brazil's presidential election.
Mr Bolsonaro, who is the son of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, had been facing a number of legal battles in Brazil and had been ordered by a court to surrender his passport earlier this week.
But the senator instead disappeared, prompting intense speculation that he had fled to the United States.
Mr Bolsonaro, who loses his immunity from prosecution when his Senate term ends in February, had said on Monday after the order to hand in his passports that he had no plans to flee.
"I have never thought about leaving the country," he said.
"I will hand over my passports and defend myself against this travesty, which is a clear attempt to intimidate me."
