Brazilian Court gives Bolsonaro 5 days to hand over Saudi jewels
March 15, 2023, Brazilian Court gives Bolsonaro 5 days to hand over Saudi jewels. A Brazilian court ruled Wednesday ex-president Jair Bolsonaro has five days to hand over pricey jewelry he received as a present from Saudi Arabia and ordered an audit of all official gifts during his Presidency.
The scandal erupted when newspaper Estado de Sao Paulo reported that customs officers intercepted an aide to Bolsonaro’s then-mines and energy minister trying to enter Brazil with a backpack containing diamond jewelry from Swiss luxury firm Chopard after an official trip to Saudi Arabia in October 2021. It later emerged Bolsonaro had kept a second set of jewels, also from Chopard, that entered Brazil undetected.
Guyana’s Presidents on State & Official Visits do receive GIFTS, but NO reports to the Nation.
Countries’ Presidents and Ministers to VERY RICH KUWAIT, SAUDI ARABIA, DUBAI (UAE), QATAR, OMAN, and BAHRAIN, the GCC 6 Nations, do receive GIFTS and at times CASH, which is the Standard Operating Practice. Guyana’s Past Presidents made many State & OFFICIAL Visits to UK, USA, KUWAIT, SAUDI ARABIA, AFRICA, et al, and there is NO PUBLIC announcement on the GIFTS or CASH they received, Why?
Guyana’s Past Presidents are Sam Hinds (1997), Bharrat Jagdeo (1999-2011), Donald Ramotar (2011-2015), David Granger (2015-2020), and current President Dr. IRFAAN ALI (2020- ). Trips were made to VERY RICH DUBAI, UAE; KUWAIT, and SAUDI ARABIA, were GCC countries are well known for VERY LAVISH GIFTS and CASH to Heads of States, when they visit. Past President Jagdeo made visits to Lebanon, Kuwait, and UAE in 1995; Iran in 1986 and 1995; Oman and Qatar in 1996; Bahrain in 1997; Jordan 1998; Kuwait in 2010, and Saudi Arabia in 2011. What are the achievements, outcomes, and deliverables from these expensive TEN trips ??????????.
With due respect our Past and Current Presidents, should inform the Nation on the gifts and cash, they received, for transparency, accountability, and honesty. Were these gifts reported to the Integrity Commission? As reported above, Brazilian Court gives Bolsonaro 5 days to hand over Saudi jewels. Can we expect a report from Guyana Past and Current Presidents or the Integrity Commission? Huge sums of monies were spent for First Class air fares, high per diem and other high rank allowances, what were the achievements, outcomes and deliverables for Guyana from these many very expensive trips from PPP Government in their 26 years from the last 31 years?
We look forward especially to PPP Past and Current Presidents reporting to the Nation on the Gifts and Cash received from all their Overseas Trips, especially from Dubai, UAE; Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iran, Oman, and Qatar and the Coalition President made two trips to Saudi Arabia. Many are saying that the PPP is practicing “guided democracy “with emphasis on their PPP party supporters, Families, Friends and Favorites, with their one seat majority in Parliament.
On my May 30, 2019, arrival In Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for the 14th. Islamic Summit and 50th Anniversary of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for Heads of Nations and Representatives, I was informed sarcastically with not a nice body language and facial expressions, that a Guyana Minister visited KSA and gave Guyana’s Regular Money Coins Currency, as Gifts, which was NOT a good impression for the Republic of Guyana.
Ambassador Dr. Shamir’s standard operating practice, gifts were 2 books “GUYANA” by Arif Ali and “RUPUNUNI” by Pete Oxford and Graham Watkins and Amy’s Premium Pomeroon Coffee
For Transparency, Ambassador Dr. Shamir Ally’s PERSONAL ISLAMIC GIFT from His Majesty, King of Saudi Arabia, is an Exotic Green Box with Premium Dates; Oud (Scented Wood when burned, for aromatic smell in the house, especially for Namaz Prayers or at Quran reading); Subha (Black Antique Amber Islamic Prayer Beads); Islamic Perfumes, and ZAM ZAM the Holiest Water in Islam from Mecca. The source of this water is the Zamzam well which is situated within Masjid-al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia and is located 20 meters east of the Al-Kaaba, which is known as the Holiest Place in Islam.
RUPUNUNI Book by Pete Oxford and Graham Watkins, GIFT to the Ambassador of Saudi Arabia, in Kuwait at the Saudi Embassy. Unprecedented for a Lady, my wife Dr. Maryann, to be in a picture with the Saudi Ambassador. The evidence of Guyana’s relationships with respect, and who knows know. Saudi Arabia and Iran are both with very firm rules on NO handshakes’ greetings and NO pictures, with women.
HE LFS Burnham’s USA’s $5,000: monthly is in the Public Record and is now being BERATED by past President Jagdeo in an interview. The USD $5,000: from the US Government, was given to assist, to ensure that NO PPP COMMUNIST Government was elected in Guyana, after CUBA, in the Western Hemisphere. PPP is a Marxist Communist Party by their Constitution, which is applicable today.
How many will remember, TIME reported on October 4, 1963 “Cheddi Jagan is a Communist. “Communism,” he says, “is winning throughout the world—it will win everywhere.” The smiling East Indian has long insisted that British Guiana will never become an out-and-out satellite, but the evidence of Red influence is everywhere. Czech and Russian trade missions abound; ships carrying Russian and Cuban cargo frequently nose in and out of the harbor, 31 by actual count in the last 20 months.”
TIME reported on October 4, 1963 “. Last July (1963) Gimpex actually managed some indirect aid from Cuba. The company sold $1,000,000 worth of railroad ties to Cuba, and the money—paid in advance—was lent by Gimpex to Jagan’s government.” Many records will confirm that Dr. Jagan championed USSR’s communism and were the recipients of huge fundings from the USSR, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Communist Party of Greece, et al, to support, build, and expand the PPP.
Many will remember PPP GIMPEX was the store to sell the various support items received including motor cars. Those who were actively involved, and know of the GIMPEX extensive operations will readily conclude, that the assistance to PPP by many multiples, far exceeded the USA’s USD $5,000: for about 2 year to the PNC, which was subject to regular USA reviews. The assistance to HE Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham for the PNC’s work was specifically, to avoid Guyana becoming a second Cuba with the PPP in the Western Hemisphere.

US $18 Million Signing Bonus
It was reported in the media on April 7, 2023, iNews “US $18M signing bonus siphoned off by APNU+AFC played no role in ICJ case – Jagdeo.” This comment is NOT TRUE, from my back channel, these monies were to be IN CONFIDENCE so Venezuela’s Team will not know Guyana received monies to vigorously defend at the ICJ. The monies were to be used 100% by APNU+AFC for the expensive Attorneys’ Fees, Case Administration expenses, and travel expenses to ICJ at the Peace Palace in the Hague, Netherlands. My back channel, a High Caliber Attorney also advised to act in confidence with the $18M, and should be known to PPP.
April 7, DPI news, Dr. (h.c.) Jagdeo, 2nd VP said, “The AFC is dead”. With due respect. stop frustrating the elections case in the courts, arrange new biometrics Voter ID card, a proper voters list and announce the General Elections, before the High Court ruling, for General Elections. Then see who is dead and who will be alive, with the effluxion of time and voters many cries.
USD $20 Million WHO PAID for Suriname Border Dispute???
Will Dr. (h.c.) Jagdeo, 2nd VP at HIS NEXT MEDIA CONFERENCE say, who paid the USD $20 Million for Under terms of a tribunal’s ruling announced Sept. 20, 2017. Did this funder received a benefit from Guyana.? Guyana was granted sovereignty over approximately 12,800 sq mi (33,152 sq km) of coastal waters that had been in dispute. Suriname was awarded 6,900 sq mi (17,871 sq km). This binding ruling, according to terms of the UN Convention of the Law of the Sea, is expected to lead to further offshore oil and gas exploration by both countries. a six-year standoff that began in June 2000 when the Suriname navy forcibly evicted personnel from an oil drilling rig. Guyana and Suriname have agreed to abide by the tribunal’s ruling.
SOCU
“The Special Organized Crime Unit (SOCU) was established back in 2013 under the PPP/C Government to exclusively investigate money laundering and terrorism allegations as part of Guyana’s international obligations to strengthen its Anti Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) apparatus.” How many TOP Officials since 2013 allegedly involved in corrupt activities were brought to Justice ?. President Donald Trump April 3, 2023, 34 Felony Counts during the 2016 Presidential Campaign, demonstrates the long reach of the law in a Nation whose Manhattan, New York Attorney General practices Democracy, with charges. President Trump and Attorneys will do discovery of evidence and the next court date fixed by the Hon. Judge Juan Merchan is December 4, 2023.
SOCU’s arrest of attorney shines light on its chequered past – Stabroek News.
Many will remember the numerous fraud charges in Guyana, which were withdrawn in August 2020, when the PPP Government took office. Three media reports are as follows. What will occur when a NEW Government WINS the 2025 Elections? Will all these charges be reinstituted? Is this a reason why Guyana with Billions in Oil revenues, is without a substantive Minister of Finance ? Will the USA step up? Will USA DEA, FBI and CIA arrests and rendition follow ? time will tell, as they are precedence for these types of corruption charges in the courts in USA for Covid relief funds; USA Small Business Administration; South Africa; Uganda; Alstom S.A., a French power and transportation company; now-bankrupt FTX cryptocurrency exchange CEO; Gunvor, a Swiss commodities trading company; Bulgaria; China; Croatia; Czech Republic; Italy; Kazakhstan; and Russia.
