Corruption: Brazil's ex-president, Lula Da Silva jailed for 12 years
Brazil’s former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, will begin his
12 year prison term from Friday, after a judge gave him 24 hours to
surrender to police.
Lula, 72, was once one of the most popular politicians on the planet
and he easily led polls in Brazil’s October presidential election.
Last July, Mr. da Silva was convicted on corruption and money
laundering charges and sentenced to almost 10 years in prison. In
January, an appeals court unanimously upheld the conviction and
increased the sentence to 12 years.
