The United States Department of Justice authorized the request for international police collaboration to investigate the attempted sale of jewelry and watches from former president Jair Bolsonaro’s collection. The information comes from journalist César Tralli, from GloboNews. The scheme was revealed by Estadão.
In August, the Federal Police contacted the FBI, the American equivalent of the agency, to advance investigations into the international scheme in the country. The former president is being investigated for selling gifts given by delegations from other countries. In March this year, Estadão revealed that Bolsonaro took a third package of jewelry given by the Saudi Arabian regime when he left office at the end of 2022.
Cid has already given important information to the PF about the former president’s role in the jewelry case, the vaccination card fraud scheme and the attempted coup d’état after the election of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT)
In another case, the Federal Police crossed data from an advertisement on an American website specializing in the auction of objects and luxury and found at the address items from a kit that would have been received by the then Minister of Mines and Energy, Bento Albuquerque, after a trip to Saudi Saudi, in October 2021.
According to GloboNews’ investigation, the Federal Police were authorized to go to monitor the measures requested in the United States. The FBI will be able to investigate those involved in the scheme, bringing responsibilities to those involved in another country.
The former president went to the United States in December of that year and remained there until March.
In Bolsonaro’s understanding, there is no illegality regarding the fate of the jewelry he received as president. He cites a 2018 decree by former president Michel Temer that classifies precious stones as very personal items.
