VOICED : Corte brasilena rechaza recurso y Lula mas cerca de la carcel

The Superior Tribunal of Justice in Brazil unanimously rejected former President Lula's appeal to avoid imprisonment. Lula's defense had filed a habeas corpus to prevent his arrest for a 12-year sentence on corruption and money laundering charges. This decision diminishes Lula's chances of remaining free if the appellate court denies his final appeals. Convicted in 2017 for accepting a luxury apartment from a construction company involved in the Petrobras scandal, Lula maintains his innocence, claiming political persecution. Despite legal challenges, he remains a favorite in the upcoming presidential elections.
