RIO DE JANEIRO.- The judiciary is closing in on Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. For the first time yesterday, the federal prosecutors investigating the multi-million Petrobras corruption case formally charged the popular former president of Brazil (2003-2010) with being the main leader of the graft scheme at the state oil company.

At a press conference in Curitiba, where the investigation that has shaken the Brazilian political and business world for more than two years is centered, Deltan Dallagnol, lead prosecutor of Operação Lava Jato, or Operation Car Wash, declared that “Lula was the top boss of the Petrobras corruption scheme.”
