Brazil’s federal prosecutor’s office on Monday asked the Federal Court of Auditors (TCU) to require former President Jair Bolsonaro to return all gifts received during his term in office.
Prosecutor Lucas Rocha Furtado’s request comes four days after Bolsonaro, his wife Michele Bolsonaro and other people associated with the former ruler chose to remain silent on testimony they gave to the Brazilian Federal Police in Brasilia in a case of illegal sale of jewelry. .
The case concerns a set of jewels and objects of great value delivered to Bolsonaro on official trips to Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries, and which were to be delivered to the Brazilian state when he stepped down from power.
