The main problem does not lie with the recipients of the gifts, but with the bodies responsible for controlling these items, according to the TCU
Arabic jewelry and Jair Bolsonaro
247 The Presidency of the Republic acknowledged that it has no control over any gifts Jair Bolsonaro received during his 20192022 tenure. That information was uncovered during an audit conducted by the German Federal Audit Office (TCU) in March, which aimed to verify whether there were any irregularities in the receipt of gifts, such as jewelry that Saudi Arabia offered the former president, O Estado de S. Paulo unveiled.
According to information from Carolina Brígido of the UOL, the TCU has asked the Presidency of the Republic to provide information on all gifts intended for Bolsonaro, whether they come from a private or public collection. The answer came that there was no control over everyone present. Although some received gifts are known, they could not be located. The main problem does not lie with the recipients of the gifts, but with the bodies responsible for controlling these items, according to the TCU.
At this current stage of the scrutiny, the court is expected to propose that the Presidency of the Republic of Bolsonaro require and other possible recipients of the gifts to report the items received or, where appropriate, declare that they do not possess them. The review was originally scheduled to be completed in June, but was later pushed back to July. There is currently no estimated date for completion. According to the journalist, there were difficulties in notifying the former resident of the Planalto Palace, which ultimately led to a delay in the process. Responsible for the case is Minister Augusto Nardes, who is considered a political ally of Bolsonaro.
