Lava Jato goes after the dying Serra a decade too late.

"At the moment when Lava Jato, in ruins, is denounced by Agência Pública for having maintained an illegal and incestuous relationship with the FBI, the São Paulo faction launches itself against the moribund José Serra, of the PSDB, at least a decade late," observes journalist Leandro Fortes.

By Leandro Fortes, for Journalists for Democracy -At the very moment when Lava Jato, in ruins, is denounced by Agência Pública for having maintained an illegal and incestuous relationship with the FBI, the São Paulo faction launches its attack on the moribund José Serra, of the PSDB party, at least a decade late.

It would be comical if it weren't tragic.

It has always been known that Serra and his daughter, Verônica, were involved in countless corruption schemes, shielded – also always – by the PSDB (Brazilian Social Democracy Party) apparatus within the Judiciary and the public security system of São Paulo.

For years, the left denounced this protection and the connections of Serra, a professional charlatan, with corruption schemes and coup-plotting groups. It is no coincidence that he was Minister of Foreign Affairs under Michel Temer after the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff.

Lava Jato decided to go after this unburied corpse because they have nothing else to do.

Sérgio Moro is nothing more than a Twitter zombie, desperately fighting to avoid being forgotten, writing bland articles for a third-rate online magazine.

The rats of the Republic of Curitiba scurry about in terror, now under investigation for the abuses and crimes perpetrated throughout an infamous period.

Deltan Dallagnol, the prodigy of the Public Prosecutor's Office, is on an inexorable path toward public ridicule – if not prison, too.

After destroying the national heavy industry, handing over the country's wealth to foreigners, and betraying the law with the help of US agents, Lava Jato is heading for its downfall.

It's the price you pay for getting lost along the way.
