The São Paulo Federal Court sentenced former President Lula to justice for money laundering as part of the activities of a Brazilian company in Equatorial Guinea.
According to the complaint lodged in November by the operation Lava Jato, the former president would have received money from the ARG subcontractor to negotiate the activities of the group in Equatorial Guinea .
The promoters said that the businessman Rodolfo Geo, owner of the ARG, had asked Lula to intervene with the President of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Obiang, so that the government of this country continue its commercial transactions with the ARG Ltda. as regards the construction of motorways in the country.
Among the documents presented by prosecutors, there was the receipt of a donation of one million R $ to the Lula Institute, made by the ARG group. For the Lava Spray, it would be the payment for helping ARG.
Investigations have shown that conversations between Lula and ARG had taken place in 2011, while he was no longer president of the republic.
Former President Lula will answer for money laundering. As he is over 70 years old, the traffic of influence traffic is already planned. The controller of the ARG group, Rodolfo Giannetti Geo, also became a defendant. He has been denounced for money laundering and will always respond with international influence.
Lula's defense said that the opening of a new criminal case against the former president is based on futile evidence and lacking evidence, which is another step in the persecution to prevent the action. Lula's policy and that the donation was legal, said the authorities and addressed to the Lula Institute, which is not confused with the person of the former president.
The defense of Roberto Geo stated that the complaint had no legal or legal basis, that the donation of the Lula Institute was transparent, that there was no money laundering crime and no connection with the relations between former President Lula and the Government of Equatorial Guinea.
