Fiscales acusan al brasileño Lula Da Silva  de ser el comandante de esquema de corrupción

RIO DE JANEIRO- Investigadores brasileños acusan el miércoles al ex presidente Inácio Lula da Silva por lavado de dinero y corrupción, señalándolo como “el comandante máximo” de la impresionante corrupción en la nación mas grande de Latinoamérica.

Los cargos contra Silva eran de esperarse ya que la policía los había reportado el mes pasado. Las características de su papel en el esquema de sobornos con la empresa estatal de petróleo Petrobras fueron asombrosas.

En los últimos dos años, la operación Lava Jato ha llevado a el encarcelamiento de decenas de altos empresarios y políticos. Silva ha estado implicado en la trama desde el 2003 y 2010, pero los fiscales jamás mencionaron que era más que un beneficiario de esta corrupción.
