Watch Lula’s trial live

In July, the former president was convicted of corruption and money laundering, and sentenced to 9 years and 6 months in jail. While the prosecution will not ask for Lula’s immediate arrest, today’s verdict could be decisive for Brazil’s 2018 election. Lula currently leads all polls, but could be declared ineligible for office if his conviction is upheld.
