Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is facing serious allegations of embezzling luxury jewelry worth 6.8 million Brazilian reals (about $1.2 million) during his time in office, as revealed in an investigative report unsealed by the Supreme Court. The Federal Police have indicted Bolsonaro on charges of embezzlement, asset laundering, and criminal association in connection with high-value gifts, including diamond-encrusted Rolex and Patek Phillipe watches, a necklace, rings, and cufflinks, received from Saudi Arabia.
The police report suggests a criminal association was involved in the embezzlement of these gifts, which were received due to Bolsonaro's position as the former President. Some of the presents were allegedly given to government staffers acting on Bolsonaro's behalf during international trips.
