Former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has been convicted
of taking bribes and money laundering in a massive corruption scandal
that has swept the country's political establishment.
Brazilian federal judge Sergio Moro, who is leading the multi-billion
dollar corruption probe known as Carwash, sentenced the 71-year-old for
nine and a half years in prison. Lula will remain free on appeal.
Moro found Lula guilty of accepting $1.2 million worth of bribes from
the engineering firm OAS SA. Prosecutors said the company spent the same
amount refurbishing a beach apartment for Lula in return for his helping
in winning contracts with state oil company Petroleo Brasileiro.
