Nassif: New accusation against Lula uses the same stratagem of piecing together loose ends without evidence.
"The tactic of overwhelming the victim with a multitude of investigations and lawsuits continues to be practiced by the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office against Lula. According to what has been published in the newspapers, the latest indictment – by the Federal District Prosecutor's Office – uses the same primary stratagem of piecing together three or four loose pieces of evidence and making the most nonsensical inferences," states journalist Luis Nassif, regarding the indictment presented by the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office against Lula and one of his sons within the scope of Operation Zelotes.
247 - Commenting on the new charges filed against former President Lula, this time by the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF) of Brasília, within the scope of Operation Zelotes, journalist Luis Nassif observes that it follows the same strategy as the previous ones, of piecing together "loose pieces" without showing "a single piece of evidence".
"The tactic of overwhelming the victim with a multitude of investigations and lawsuits continues to be practiced by the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office against Lula. From what has been published in the newspapers, the latest indictment – by the Federal District Public Prosecutor's Office – uses the same basic stratagem of piecing together three or four loose pieces of evidence and making the most nonsensical inferences," writes Nassif.
"It's a fantastic accusation! They can't prove Lula's participation in any of the operations. The most they managed to get were details from a couple of lobbyists boasting of their close relationship with Lula, promising to interfere in major projects, without achieving anything. In other words, they were selling smoke, in lobbyists' jargon," he states.
The journalist comments point by point on the text published on the MPF website regarding the complaint. Check it out here the full text of his analysis.
