"Brazil's Bolsonaro Faces Escalating Legal Troubles, Including Allegations of Ordering Sale of Official Gift Jewelry"

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is facing increased legal pressure as police investigate his personal finances and communications, while a jailed former aide considers testifying about his involvement in a Rolex-peddling scheme allegedly orchestrated by Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro has already faced a congressional inquiry and multiple police probes, with some of his close allies speculating that he may end up behind bars. The Supreme Court has authorized investigators to access Bolsonaro and his wife's confidential phone and bank records. In a televised congressional probe, a computer programmer claimed that Bolsonaro asked him to tamper with an electronic voting machine to undermine faith in the electoral system. Additionally, Bolsonaro's former right-hand man is reportedly planning to confess his involvement in crimes related to the alleged sale of jewelry, accusing Bolsonaro of being the mastermind.
