Moro contests PT and says decision on triplex does not clear Lula
Lula distorted the scope of the decision on the triplex by presenting it as confirmation that the property was not his.
TL;DR
- Senator Sergio Moro criticized the PT's interpretation of a court decision regarding the R$ 2.42 million from the triplex auction.
- Moro clarified that the decision does not declare the property never belonged to Lula or clear him of criminal charges.
- The funds were returned to OAS because Lula's criminal convictions were annulled, removing the legal basis for keeping the seized money.
- President Lula had claimed the court decision confirmed the apartment was not his and requested apologies from those who accused him.
- The court ordered OAS Empreendimentos to receive the auction proceeds, considering the property remained registered in the company's name.
- Lula's convictions in the triplex and Atibaia cases were annulled by the Supreme Court due to the incompetence of the 13th Federal Court of Curitiba.
- The annulment of convictions meant the cases handled by the Curitiba court were invalidated, not a decision on Lula's innocence based on evidence.
