A court in Brazil on Wednesday 12th July 2017 found the country’s former president, Luiz da Silva, guilty of corruption and money laundering and sentenced him to almost 10 years in prison. The verdict is a shocking reversal of fortune for Mr. da Silva who wielded far-reaching influence across Latin America for several years. Mr. da Silva was the president of the largest country in South America from 2003 to 2010. Sergio Moro, the judge who delivered the judgement, said Mr. da Silva’s actions were part of a “scheme of systemic corruption” in Petrobras. “The president of the republic has enormous responsibilities,” Judge Moro wrote. “As such, his culpability is also” enormous when he commits crimes, he added. Mr. da Silva, was convicted for receiving $1.1 million, alongside his wife, in improvement and expenses from a construction company in exchange for contracts from the state-owned oil company, Petrobras. The scandal alongside several others led to Mr. da Silva’s successor, Dilma Rousseff, being impeached from office by the country’s senate last year. He has dismissed the allegation as a “farce” and has announced he would run for the country’s presidential election next year. Mr. da Silva’s conviction is a continuation of the move by the country’s judiciary to purge the country’s political class of corruption. Last month, the incumbent president, Michel Temer, was also charged with corruption. WHEN WILL NIGERIA JAIL AN EX-GOVERNOR OR PRESIDENT?

[quote author=YOUNGrapha post=58399599][/quote] I want to save you from public embarrassment. Tear piece of paper and pen... write down the following (1)There 3 arms of government namely: Executive, judiciary & legislature (2)Legislature is vested with the responsibility of making laws. The judiciary interprets the law while the Executives (Governors, Presidents, LGA Chairmen...) implement the law. |
