Brazilian federal police on Thursday formally accused former President Jair Bolsonaro of embezzlement for allegedly misappropriating jewelry he received while head of state, including luxury items given by the Saudi Arabian government, two police sources said, according to Reuters.
This is the second time police have formally accused Bolsonaro of a crime. He was charged in March with forging his COVID-19 vaccine records.
The jewelry, some of it made by Chopard of Switzerland, was valued at $3.2 million and included a diamond necklace, ring, watch and earrings given to Bolsonaro and former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro by the Saudi government.
Some of the jewelry was seized by customs officials at Sao Paulo's international airport in October 2021 when it was found in the backpack of a government aide returning from Riyadh, according to Reuters.
The police accused Bolsonaro of money laundering, criminal association and embezzlement, one of the sources told the news agency.

Sounds like Brazilian prosecutors have been following the Trump trials.
From the Leftist’s Playbook:
“Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.” ~ Lavrentriy Beria
Almost guaranteed to be lawfare.
A piece of jewelry in the backpack of an aid, could come from anywhere and belong to anyone, planted with the intent it would be discovered.
That is a far cry from finding the pres’s actual fingerprints all over it.
They did and are doing to him what they are doing to Trump.
Election fraud and trumped up charges for non-crimes.
Consider - 55%-60% of the illegal immigrants in the USA are people who arrived legally, then over stayed their visa.
The Biden Administration is not even looking for the over stays, but they forcefully evicted the pro-USA, Conservative, ex-President of Brazil the moment his visa expired.
That settles it. Lawfare.
Smells like more lawfare, Brazilian style. Pure bs, I am sure. After all, they learned for our best and brighest, the demoncats. IMHO Ed
They could also try the old “Russian Collusion” thingy - it works on idiots very well
I know this for a fact - I saw tons of idiots on Yahoo that believed it
They were also stupid enough to buy into “The Steele Dossier” - they were repeating it ad nauseam - as if it weren’t one of Hillary’s concocted lies
Dumber than a bag of fertilizer
New York DA Alvin Bragg formally accused former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro of embezzlement....
the south American trump, cant let him back in hes trouble. The only difference is in south America lawfare is a way of life including assassination’s when all else fails
Another stolen election.
Post 7- the first line... sure missed that one.
Could it be that...gasp!...Brazil is a banana republic?
There are bananas. They have fake elections. There are piranhas in the river to help get rid of bodies. Hmmmm...ponder...ponder...hmmm...could be.
Now to just demonize all candidates running in his place as “ultra MBGA (Make Brazil Great Again) right-wing extremists). Done and done.
Know it’s kind of early for tin foil hat stuff, but I wonder if Biden’s CIA was involved.
“Might be lawfare.”
Ya THINK?
The Persecution Of Trump has been a user manual for all countries with corrupt leadership.
