SAO PAULO (Reuters) — Brazilian former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva should remain in prison, Carlos Eduardo Thompson Flores, chief justice of Brazil’s TRF-4 appeals court, ruled on Sunday, in an effort to settle a legal dispute over his possible release.
Flores granted a prosecutor’s request seeking to end the legal uncertainty created by a judge’s injunction earlier in the day freeing Lula so he can campaign ahead of an October presidential election.
