VOICED : Lula se dice victima de mentiras antes de la apelacion

Former Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva claims he is a victim of lies as he faces a crucial appeal trial. Convicted in July to nine and a half years in prison by Judge Sergio Moro, Lula remains free until the January 24 verdict, which could result in acquittal, detention, or permission to campaign. Lula insists on his innocence, accusing the Federal Police, Public Ministry, and Judge Moro of falsehoods. He is accused of benefiting from Oas construction company favors in exchange for Petrobras contracts. Despite legal challenges, Lula, a former metalworker and president from 2003 to 2010, leads the polls for the October presidential elections.
