During an interview with local Brazilian media, the far-right President Jair Bolsonaro said Tuesday that his government will work to assure that former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva “serves until the last day of prison.” “As far as we are concerned, he will have no chance of obtaining his freedom,” said Bolsonaro, according to Jornal GGN, a Brazilian broadcast company. Over a year ago, Lula was sentenced by a Porto Alegre federal court to 12 years in prison on alleged corruption and money laundering charges by Judge Sergio Moro who is now Bolsonaro’s Justice Minister.
