Brazil's former head of intelligence, Alexandre Ramagem, has made a dramatic escape from justice, fleeing the country before he could begin serving his sentence for his alleged role in plotting a coup against the government. The development has sparked widespread outrage and raised questions about the extent of corruption and impunity in Brazil's highest echelons. Ramagem's actions are seen as a stark reversal of fortune for the man who was once tasked with protecting the country's national security. His flight from justice is likely to further fuel tensions in a nation still reeling from the tumultuous tenure of ex-President Jair Bolsonaro.
