FORMER Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro could face charges of money-laundering in connection with undeclared diamonds from Saudi Arabia.

Announced on Thursday, the possible charges mark the far-right leader’s second formal accusation, with more potentially in store.

Two sources with knowledge of the case confirmed the potential charges filed by the Federal Police, which followed another formal accusation against Mr Bolsonaro in May for allegedly falsifying his Covid-19 vaccination certificate. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity.
