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.

BRAZILIAN JUSTICE works in mysterious ways. The latest twist came on March 8th when Edson Fachin, a Supreme Court judge, annulled two corruption convictions against ex-president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, clearing the way for him to run in the elections in 2022. Mr Fachin belongs to a faction of the Supreme Court that tends to rule in favour of the anti-corruption task force known as Lava Jato (Car Wash). This makes his ruling surprising.
Mr Fachin accepted a years-old argument from Lula’s lawyers that the cases, which concern properties he allegedly received from construction companies, were filed in the wrong jurisdiction; if the full court confirms this decision, they will start again elsewhere. But another motion before the court seeks permanently to quash both the convictions and the evidence against Lula, on the grounds that Sérgio Moro, the judge who oversaw the probe, was biased. Leaked messages reveal that he coached prose
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was thrust back into Brazil’s political scene after a judge tossed out criminal convictions against the leftist icon, adding to investor concerns that the country’s reform agenda may be derailed by early campaigning for the 2022 presidential election.
The federal court in the southern city of Curitiba had no jurisdiction over cases against the former president, including ones that led to sentences for bribery, Justice Edson Fachin wrote in a statement on Monday. The news sent stocks and the currency cratering, deepening some of the worst performances this year at a time congress discusses approving extra emergency spending to alleviate a renewed coronavirus outbreak.
