Brazilian court orders federal government to pay R$ 60 to Lula's son for wiretap released by Moro.

According to the Judiciary, the release of the dialogues was illegal because Fábio Luís Lula da Silva had no involvement in the Lava Jato investigations.

247 - The Federal Court in the state of São Paulo has ordered the Brazilian government to pay R$ 60 in damages for moral harm to Fábio Luís Lula da Silva and his wife, Renata de Abreu Moreira, after the former Operation Lava Jato wiretapped conversations between the couple and friends and family. He is the son of the president-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) and Marisa Letícia, who died in February 2017. 

According to information published this Monday (12) by column by Monica BergamoJudge Ana Lucia Petri Betto, of the 6th Federal Civil Court of São Paulo, ruled that the release of the dialogues, ordered by then-judge Sergio Moro in 2016, was illegal because the couple had no involvement in the Lava Jato investigations. In the 2022 elections, Moro was elected senator for União Brasil in Paraná. 

The judge stated that the disclosure of the conversations resulted in a "true stain on the reputation" of the couple, "transcending mere annoyance."

Lula's son was the victim of "violent" incidents following the disclosure ordered by Moro.
