PF Should Open 2nd Inquiry to Investigate Government’s Attempt to Bring Jewels From Overseas for Michelle Bolsonaro
The Federal Police (PF) indicated on Sunday (23) that it expects to open a second inquiry to investigate a possible illegal transfer of money to bring jewels from abroad for First Lady Michelle Bolsonaro.
Investigation Preliminary Results
The preliminary results of the investigation point to the existence of an attempt by government officials to negotiate the transfer of funds for the purchase of jewelry outside the country, with the purpose of giving them to the President’s wife.
PF Expansion to Continue
The Federal Police will now expand the inquiry by identifying those involved and trying to determine if the transfer of money was made with money from the public purse. The prompt action of the Federal Police is a sign that the authorities will not allow wrongdoing or illegal actions, especially those involving the First Family.
Investigation of Payment Made by Wife’s Personal Assistant
The inquiry began after investigators discovered a payment made by the First Lady’s personal assistant to an individual in charge of facilitating the purchase of jewelry abroad. The payment was made in March, just weeks after the Bolsonaro government assumed power.
Concerns Over Michelle Bolsonaro Testimony
The investigators’ move to open the inquiry follows reports that Michelle Bolsonaro has been uncooperative during questioning, raising concerns that the First Lady may be attempting to impede the investigation. The Federal Police has yet to comment on these reports or release any information regarding her testimony.
