The indictment of ex-President Jair Bolsonaro for money laundering and criminal association involving undeclared Saudi diamonds adds another layer to his mounting legal troubles.

Authorities confirmed Thursday's second indictment by Federal Police, noting it stems from his alleged involvement in smuggling and selling gifted luxury watches.

As the case awaits further scrutiny, Bolsonaro's opposition celebrates the move while supporters decry it as political persecution.
