Brazil: Lula attacks ‘fruitless’ probe for finding nothing
BRAZIL’S former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva slammed yesterday the two-year corruption probe against him — saying it had found “nothing.”
Workers’ Party (PT) founder Mr da Silva spoke to a rally of supporters in the south-eastern city of Curitiba on Wednesday night after testifying there for five hours before Judge Sergio Moro, leading investigations into massive corruption allegations.
Mr da Silva, president from 2003 to 2010, answered allegations he received a seaside flat as payment in kind from construction company OAS.
