Brazilian Court Orders Payment of Auction Proceeds in Lula Triplex Case
What happened
The legal case involving a triplex property in Guarujá, which prosecutors in the Car Wash corruption investigation claimed was given to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva by the builder OAS, is currently centered on the property. Judge Marcelo Gentil Monteiro ordered the payment of auction proceeds, valued at about R$2.4 million, to OAS. This ruling came after the Supreme Federal Court found that the Curitiba court that convicted Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva lacked jurisdiction, thereby annulling its decisions.
