    Brazil's TCU says Bolsonaro kept pricy gifts for himself

    No grounds were identified to justify the distribution of the items between those public and those owned privately by Bolsonaro

    Brazil's Federal Court of Auditors (TCU) Friday said former President Jair Bolsonaro kept for himself some 17 gifts of “high commercial value” which should have been handed over to the country's coffers. The TCU also underlined that among the more than 9,000 presents received by the former head of state, 128 of them were not of a “personal” nature and belong in the public collection.
