Lula wins his 19th victory in Brazilian courts



According to the defense of the founder of the Workers' Party, this is the 19th decision in his favor in investigations related to the deactivated Operation Lava Jato, and the only open process is linked to the alleged irregular purchase of Swedish fighter jets.

The dismissed indictment now has to do with alleged influence peddling in 2011 to favor contractor OAS, based on the complaint of the company's former president Leo Pinheiro.

Ayuob granted a request from the former labor leader's legal team, which argued that no person heard by the Federal Police confirmed the version presented by Pinheiro, and the executive himself denied any payment of undue advantages to the former governor in a new testimony.

In the decision, the magistrate recognizes that there are no elements to continue the investigation and the crimes attributed to Lula prescribed due to his age (75 years old).

'I declare extinguished the punishability of the investigated Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva' and 'I determine closing the case,' the judge wrote.
