Bolsonaro Surrenders Undeclared Jewels to Authorities in Brazil.

A representative of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has handed over a set of diamond jewelry he received during his presidency to a state bank, as ordered by a government watchdog amid an investigation into the gifts. Federal police and prosecutors are investigating whether the goods brought into the country from Saudi Arabia were public gifts that Bolsonaro improperly tried to prevent from being incorporated into the presidency’s public collection, or private gifts that Bolsonaro tried sneak into Brazil without paying taxes. The state bank Caixa Economica Federal received the box of precious stones Friday at one of its branches in capital Brasilia, the bank’s press office told The Associated Press.
