Supreme Court Chief Justice Cármen Lúcia has scheduled for today a trial of former President Lula’s request to suspend his prison sentence. The former president was convicted of corruption and money laundering, and sentenced to 12 years and one month in prison.
His arrest could happen as early as Monday, when the appellate court that convicted him will analyze his final appeals. Since the court is not expected to change its initial verdict, everything is on the line for Lula today.
