The authority notes that “with regard to the process related to the indications of violations affecting the attempt to enter the jewels into the country with a total value of three million euros, it has taken the necessary measures to clean up the records.”
The aforementioned, he specified, “through the implementation of a measure of the Federal Police and the Federal Treasury, as well as hearing officials Jair Messias Bolsonaro and Bento Albuquerque (then Minister of Mines and Energy), through the office of the rapporteur, Minister Augusto Nardes ».
It also decided that the former head of an extreme right-wing movement “maintains his condition, as a loyal trustee, until further deliberation by this Court of Accounts, and refrains from using, disposing of, or disposing of all the assets of the jewels subject to the process under review.”
The Bolsonaro government (2019-2022) tried to illegally bring into the country a bunch of clothes, a gift from the Saudi administration, but they ended up at São Paulo airport on October 26, 2021.
The jewels were in the backpack of military officer Marcos Andre Suero, advisor to Albuquerque, who was in the Middle East as part of an official delegation on a trip that began a few days ago.
Former Minister Bolsonaro represented him at a summit titled Middle East Green Initiative.
The pieces were discovered by customs when Suero attempted to enter the country without being declared, in violation of the law.
The necklace, earrings, ring and watch of the famous and expensive Chopard brand, valued at more than three million euros (16.5 million Brazilian reais), after spending more than a year in the hands of customs, will be offered at auction after being confiscated for it. Tax evasion.
However, that decision was put on hold because fancy bandages began to be framed as evidence of possible crimes, including diversion, embezzlement, and money laundering.
Having recently attended an event in the US, where he has been since December 30, the former Army captain has denied any wrongdoing.
It brings to the attention of the tax authorities that after the items were confiscated at the air terminal, the Bolsonaro government has tried, through various means, to recover the jewels, without success, at least eight times.
