Lula's prison sentence has been placed under seal, which may indicate his imminent release.
According to the Jota website, which specializes in legal news, after Lula's defense requested his release from prison to attend his grandson's funeral, the process of executing his sentence has been placed under seal in the courts; this measure is yet another indication that the former president's release is imminent.
247 - Former President Lula's defense team has filed a request for his release to attend the funeral of his grandson Arthur, who was only 7 years old and died this Friday (March 1st) from meningitis.
According to the Jota website, which specializes in legal news, after the defense requested that Lula be released from prison to attend his grandson's funeral, the process of executing the former president's sentence has been kept confidential by the courts.
This measure is expected to be one of the procedures taken to execute the release of the former president, which, according to major media sources, has already been authorized. The Federal Police reportedly received an informal communication from the Federal Court, alerting them to the imminent release, precisely to begin the necessary procedures. With the process under seal, monitoring of where and how Lula will leave is restricted to security agencies and his lawyers.
