Lula Da Silva is accused of money laundering
According to the Public Ministry of Sao Paulo, the Brazilian Prosecutor's Office accused ex-president Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva of money laundering when he intervened in a business in Equatorial Guinea
The complaint states that by using his international prestige, Lula Da Silva influenced the decisions of the president of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Obiang, which resulted in the expansion of business of the Brazilian group ARG in the African country.
In return, the São Paulo Prosecutor’s Office affirms that the former president received one million reais, equivalent to 263,000 dollars, disguised as donations to the Lula Institute between September 2011 and June 2012.
The Lula Institute denied the accusations. For its part, the defense of the former president described the imputation of a heavy blow to the rule of law because it disturbs the law and the facts to fabricate an accusation and give continuity to a political persecution.
In the same way, the prosecution denounced the ARG group official, Rodolfo Giannetti Geo, for money laundering and influence peddling in an international commercial transaction. The ex president was not accused of this last crime since he is 70 years old.
According to the indictment, “Rodolfo Giannetti Geo sought the former president to mediate with President Teodoro Obiang so that his government could continue to carry out commercial transactions with the ARG group, especially in the construction of roads.”
