Millionaire jewelry: Bolsonaro will be forced to return the jewelry he received as a gift from the government of Saudi Arabia

The TCU had already determined that the former president should send the gifts he received to the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic, the gifts are a package of jewels, all from the Swiss diamond brand Chopard, including: watch, pen, ring, cufflinks , masbaha (a type of rosary). After that, he considered that the Caixa would be the most suitable place to keep the gifts, since some functions of the General Secretariat have changed in this new government. The former president’s lawyers made a representation to the TCU saying that it is essential that the correct definition of the appropriate location be informed to ensure that there is no confusion or misunderstandings that could compromise the resolution of the case. Bolsonaro has until the beginning of next week to deliver the gifts to Caixa.

In 2019, the former president received a rifle and a pistol as a gift from the United Arab Emirates, but he will also have to return it. It was determined by the ministers to carry out an audit of all the gifts that were received by Bolsonaro during his term as President of the Republic. In 2016, an audit was carried out on the gifts received by former presidents Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff and after that the court made it clear that objects of value, such as jewelry, belong to the public collection of the Presidency of the Republic . Only items that are of lesser value, perishable or of a very personal nature, such as T-shirts and caps, can be incorporated into the private collection of the President of the Republic. At the beginning, Augusto Nardes, when analyzing the case individually, had decided only to make Bolsonaro the trustee of the jewels, he had prohibited the use or sale of the objects until a decision on the merits was reached. However, later the minister himself decided to change the vote, which determines the return of the second package of jewels that were discovered in the possession of the former president.
