BRASILIA — A Brazilian judge on Friday ruled that former president Jair Bolsonaro must face questioning over reports he tried to illegally import jewelry worth $3.2 million gifted to him and his wife by Saudi Arabia. The far-right ex-army captain has faced mounting questions over the October 2021 episode, in which customs officers allegedly seized undeclared diamond jewels, since Brazilian media reported on it last week. The jewels were allegedly carried by a government aide in a backpack returning from an official trip to the Middle East.
