Last January, Lula da Silva was sentenced to 12 years in prison for corruption. Silva appealed to the STF to avoid this penalty, but the judges rejected it on the basis of a single vote difference. That’s why the former president of Brazil is getting closer and closer to prison.

Da Silva’s imprisonment will be imminent and will have repercussions on the country’s politics, since, according to the questionnaires, Da Silva would win next October’s elections.
