Federal district prosecutors have asked Federal Police to investigate allegations that former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva took part in a cash-for-votes scheme that toppled several of his closest aides.
In a two-sentence statement posted on their website late yesterday, the prosecutors said their request is based on advertising executive Marcos Valerio’s sworn testimony in September that he twice transferred funds for Lula’s personal expenses.
