Lula's judicial situation has changed. Recently, the Supreme Court of Brazil decided to annul the convictions against the former Brazilian president, which implied a possible money-laundering scheme, in what is known as the Lava Jato case. According to the Supreme Court, the actions that led to the conviction of Lula Da Silva, who was
initially sentenced to 12 years in prison , could not have taken place in Curitiba, because the events are not related to the scheme of diversions of Petrobras.
Precisely, the former candidate for president by the PT was accused of benefiting the construction company OAS (one of the 16 companies that defrauded Petrobras) in exchange for a three-story luxury apartment in Guarujá, a purchase that never materialized. However, through a statement, Minister Luiz Eson Fachin ruled that the cases should be restarted in the Federal Court of Brasilia.
