Brazilian Federal Police has recommended charging former President JAIR BOLSONARO with crimes including money-laundering over undeclared jewelry gifted between 2019 and 2022.

The latest police report states that officials had acted to divert expensive gifts to Mr. BOLSONARO from foreign governments.

The report submitted to the Supreme Federal Court on Monday says that cash raised from such sales was paid to the former president without using the formal banking system.

The former president is also facing other legal challenges, including an investigation into whether he incited rioters who stormed key government buildings after he narrowly lost the 2022 presidential election to his left-wing rival, LUIZ LULA DA SILVA.
