Lula da Silva and his Workers’ Party are an affront to the country’s traditional elite—which is itself mired in corruption—so they want to destroy him by any means necessary.

Brazilian prosecutors want Lula absolved in corruption case
Quote:
 
SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva should be cleared of any wrongdoing in one of several corruption cases pending against him in federal court due to a lack of evidence, prosecutors said on Friday.

The federal prosecutors said in a statement that former Senator Delcidio Amaral had lied about Lula, as one of the country’s most popular politicians is known, as part of a plea-bargain agreement.

His testimony was key to Lula’s legal entanglements, the statement added, saying Amaral himself should be put on trial for perjury.
