巴西前總統(tǒng)被勒令收監(jiān)
A Brazilian judge has ordered former President Luiz Inacio "Lula" da Silva to surrender to authorities in the southern city of Curitiba by Friday afternoon to begin serving a 12-year prison sentence on a corruption conviction.
The arrest warrant was issued just hours after Brazil's top court, the Supreme Federal Tribunal, voted 6-5 to deny a request by da Silva to stay out of prison while he appealed the conviction.
In a statement, Federal judge Sergio Moro said he was giving da Silva the opportunity to come in of his own accord because he had been president of the nation.
Da Silva was found guilty last year of taking bribes in the form of major renovations on an oceanfront apartment, in return for steering contracts to a construction company. An appeals court upheld the verdict in January.
Da Silva says the corruption charges against him are politically motivated and designed to keep him running for president again in October's election. Despite his conviction and six other pending corruption trials, he is leading in opinion polls. His Workers' Party (PT) described the ruling as "a tragic day for democracy and Brazil".
巴西一名法官命令前總統(tǒng)路易斯·伊納西奧·盧拉·達(dá)席爾瓦(Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva)星期五下午之前向南部城市庫里奇巴的當(dāng)局自首，開始因腐敗罪而被判處12年監(jiān)禁的服刑。
數(shù)小時(shí)前，巴西最高聯(lián)邦法院以6比5的票數(shù)裁決，駁回了盧拉提出的上訴期間暫不入獄的要求。
聯(lián)邦法官莫羅在一份聲明中說，他給盧拉主動(dòng)入獄的機(jī)會(huì)，因?yàn)樗?jīng)擔(dān)任過國家總統(tǒng)。
前總統(tǒng)盧拉去年被判犯有受賄罪，把一系列政府合同包給一家建筑公司，換取的好處是為他一個(gè)海邊公寓全面翻修。一家上訴法庭今年一月維持原判。
盧拉說，對(duì)他的腐敗指控是出于政治動(dòng)機(jī)，目的是阻止他今年10月再次參選。盧拉雖然已被判定受賄罪并面臨6項(xiàng)其它罪名的庭審，但是仍然在民調(diào)中領(lǐng)先。盧拉所在的勞工黨宣稱，對(duì)盧拉的判決是“民主和巴西的悲慘日”。
