The search warrant issued by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes on Friday followed police allegations that Bolsonaro's aides used government resources for their personal advantage. The decision by Moraes, seen by Reuters news agency, said proceeds of the sales were delivered in cash to Bolsonaro via intermediaries.
The decision by Moraes cites messages obtained by the police in which Mauro Cid, Bolsonaro's former aide, deals with the sale of statues, a palm tree and a gold-plated boat received as gifts during an official visit to Bahrain.
