Brazil ex-President Lula loses appeal against corruption conviction
Quote:
 
An appeals court in Brazil has unanimously upheld a corruption conviction imposed last July on ex-President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Lula was convicted of corruption and money laundering last year

EX-PRESIDENT LULA’S CORRUPTION CONVICTION IS UPHELD BY BRAZILIAN APPEALS COURT. NOW WHAT?
Quote:
 
A BRAZILIAN FEDERAL appeals court upheld the conviction of former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on corruption charges this Wednesday in the southern city of Porto Alegre by a vote of 3-to-0. The panel increased his prison sentence to 12 years and one month. Last July, Judge Sérgio Moro, who leads the sprawling corruption investigation known as Operation Car Wash, sentenced Lula to nine-and-a-half years in prison for allegedly accepting bribes from a contractor in exchange for political favors.

Lula, who holds a commanding lead in every poll for the presidential election later this year despite his conviction, may still appeal to a higher court. Now, the former president’s fate is as complicated as the surreal Brazilian judicial system that controls it: In a few months we will know if the Workers’ Party leader will spend the next years of his life in jail or in the presidential palace for a third term.

It's the cancer, the death of his wife and the raping of Brazil (not necessarily in that order).
