Former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) is participating in an act in his support, carried out by militants of trade union and popular movements, in Praça da República, in the center of São Paulo, on January 24, 2018 when Lula has appealed against the conviction in the case of the triplex denied by the Regional Federal Court (TRF) of Porto Alegre. Lula was convicted of passive corruption and money laundering. Officers have extended the former president's penalty of 9 years and six months to 12 years and 1 month.
