The former President Lula in São Bernardo do Campo (SP) On April 7, 2018, a few hours before going to the police.
Arguments of Lula's Defense
In submitting his application to the court, Lula's defense argued that there was a legal provision allowing release in the event of the death of close relatives.
According to Article 120 of the Criminal Execution Act:
"Convicted persons serving a sentence in a closed or semi-open regime and provisional prisoners may obtain permission from to leave the establishment, under escort, when one of the following events occurs: death or serious illness of the spouse, partner, ascendant, descendant or brother of the sister; Medical treatment ".
In response to this request, the court opened a one-day time limit for the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF).
Lula's defense however argued that it was useless to wait for the opinion of the MPF, at the risk of not having time to appear before the brother's burial. of the former president.
