VOICED : Lula condenado a 9 anos y medio de carcel por corrupcion

Former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was sentenced to 9.5 years in prison for corruption and money laundering. His lawyers plan to appeal the decision in various courts, including the United Nations. Lula was found guilty of accepting a triplex apartment from the construction company OAS in exchange for political favors related to Petrobras contracts. This case is part of the larger Lavallato operation, which uncovered significant embezzlement from the state oil company. Despite the conviction, Lula remains a popular figure in polls for the 2018 presidential elections, which he claims is a conspiracy to block his candidacy.
