Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro, who left the country for the United States two days before his term ended, will return home on 30 March, his party and press service announced on Friday.
His entourage said Bolsonaro had handed over to authorities, through his lawyers, some expensive jewels given to him by the government of Saudi Arabia.
"I will resume a normal life, I will work for the PL, travel around Brazil and take part in politics," Bolsonaro said in an interview with TV Record broadcast on Thursday. The scandal erupted when newspaper Estado de Sao Paulo reported that customs officers intercepted an aide to Bolsonaro's then-mines and energy minister trying to enter Brazil with a backpack containing diamond jewelry from Swiss luxury firm Chopard after an official trip to Saudi Arabia in October 2021.
Travelers entering Brazil with goods worth more than $1 000 are required to declare them and pay hefty import taxes.
