The Federal Police scheduled for next Wednesday (5) the testimony of former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) in the inquiry into the illegal entry of jewelry into Brazil. Bolsonaro is due to return to Brazil this Thursday (30) in the morning, after spending three months in the United States.

The PF should also listen to the former aide-de-camp, Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid and Colonel Marcelo da Costa Câmara, who worked in Bolsonaro’s office, reported the newspaper O Globo. The depositions must be taken on the same day.

The inquiry was initiated after the newspaper “Estado de S. Paulo” revealed that the presidential entourage brought from Saudi Arabia a set of jewels valued at R$ 16.5 million, which ended up being seized by the Federal Revenue Service. Two other sets of jewels would also not have been declared when the delegation arrived in Brazil. One of these sets has already been delivered by Bolsonaro’s defense to Caixa Econômica Federal.
