Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro would have requested a six-month tourist visa to be able to continue in the United States, where he has been since December 30, his lawyers confirmed to CNN.
The US State Department could not confirm the request because "visa records are confidential by law," a spokesman for the office said.
The far-right leader traveled to Orlando (Florida) on December 30, two days before the progressive Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva succeeded him in the Presidency, assuring then that he would take a few days off.
His presence in the country has become more controversial as a result of the attack on the three powers in Brasilia carried out by hundreds of his followers at the beginning of January.
At the request of the Prosecutor's Office, on January 14 the Supreme Court included the former Brazilian president in the list of those investigated for the attempted coup.
