In one case, authorities accuse Mr. Bolsonaro’s personal aide of selling a diamond Rolex watch and a Patek Philippe watch to a jewelry shop at the Willow Grove Park mall in Pennsylvania last year.
Mr. Bolsonaro ultimately received at least some of the $68,000 from the sale in cash, federal police officials said.

In June 2022, while in the United States after Mr. Bolsonaro’s trip to the Summit of the Americas, Mr. Cid sold the Rolex and Patek Philippe watches to Precision Watches & Jewelry in Willow Grove, Pa., the police said.

In March, Frederick Wassef, Mr. Bolsonaro’s former lawyer, flew to Pennsylvania and repurchased the Rolex for $49,000, the police said.
Yet last week, when asked about the Rolex, Mr. Wassef told the Brazilian news site g1: “I’ve never seen that watch.” He added, “I dare you to prove it.”
News sites then published the receipt with his name on it. Mr. Wassef admitted he repurchased the watch, but said Mr. Bolsonaro had not sent him.
