Lulinha: Brazil Prosecutor Wants Lula’s Son Probes Out of Top Court
Brazil's Prosecutor-General's Office asked the Supreme Court to send the inquiries into President Lula's son to a lower federal court, days after reports of a US$121 million draft health contract. The post Lulinha: Brazil Prosecutor Wants Lula’s Son Probes Out of Top Court appeared first on The Rio Times .
Brazilian prosecutors are requesting that investigations into Lulinha, the son of former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, be moved out of the Supreme Court and into ordinary federal courts. Lulinha is a private businessman and does not hold any public office, which is why prosecutors argue the top court has no jurisdiction over the case.
The investigation centers around a draft health deal reportedly worth about US$121 million, involving a state data company and a cannabis firm. The prosecutor-general's office claims no connection between the case and ongoing pension-fraud investigations.
