The news report published by Veja (“Plano para o dia da prisão” – freely translated into English as “The plan for arrest day”) is false regarding an alleged “strategy” involving us, the attorneys for the former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. All 102 testimonies heard in the Courts so far provided evidence of Lula’s innocence, as it has been explained by his defense in many petitions and appeals, which were made available to the public. Veja is among the press vehicles most aligned with the “lawfare” against the former President.
