Brazilian senator Flvio Bolsonaro has left Brazil and is headed to the United States after losing Sunday's presidential election, two sources have confirmed to CNN.

A US official told CNN that Bolsonaro is currently flying to Florida. It is unclear how he left Brazil. Bolsonaro said Monday that police forbade him from leaving the country.

A Brazilian source close to Bolsonaro said that the politician had feared arrest in Brazil, where he is under investigation by the country's highest court for alleged acts of corruption, money laundering and currency evasion. Bolsonaro denies all wrongdoing.
