Justice Edson Fachin’s ruling on March 8 to reverse three sentences against former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva upended Brazilian politics. The Supreme Court (STF) decision overturned charges that stemmed from the Operation Car Wash (
Operação Lava Jato) in 2018, condemning Lula to more than 12 year in prison and suspending his political rights.
Lula was imprisoned in April 2018 at the Federal Police headquarters in Curitiba, where the Lava Jato, now in the process of being shut down, was based. He was released in November 2019 after serving 580 days, when the Supreme Court finally agreed to examine his case and reinstated the jurisprudence that no one can serve a sentence before it can be reviewed by the country’s highest court.

Sao Paulo, Feb 18 (efe-epa).- Lava Jato (Car Wash), the sprawling, years-long anti-corruption investigation that led to the jailing of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, “corroded” the rule of law in Brazil, the former president’s attorney said in an interview with Efe.
“It is a great scandal for Brazilian justice that needs to be investigated,” Cristiano Zanin said. “It is time to correct the damage that Lava Jato has done to Brazilian justice and to the country as a whole, to sovereignty.”
Lava Jato initially centered on a $2 billion corruption scandal at Brazilian state oil company Petrobras, but expanded to include politicians and several of Brazil’s most successful private firms, such as construction giant Odebrecht.
