Former Brazilian president demands annulment of judicial proceedings against Lula

Brasilia, February 9 (RHC)-- The former president of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, affirmed that the justice system should annul the judicial proceedings against former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, because there is sufficient evidence that there was no impartiality in the trials.

In a series of posts made on her Twitter account, Dilma pointed out that the disclosed recordings of conversations between Judge Sergio Moro and prosecutors led by Deltan Dallagnol are enough to bury the alleged impartiality of the Lava Jato operation.

The Federal Supreme Court (STF) "can and should declare Moro's suspicion and, therefore, annul the proceedings against Lula," asserted Rousseff.

She added that the STF can and should also punish "the offenses committed by Moro and his prosecutors to the right of defense, to due process of law, to the democratic rule of law and to the Judiciary itself."

She highlighted that the dialogues prove that Lava Jato "manipulated the justice system, attempted against national sovereignty, in illegal agreements with foreign agents, corroded democracy, contributed to the 2016 coup, arrested Lula without evidence and with this brought the extreme right to power."
