Former Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has been ordered to turn himself in to police today to begin serving a 12-year prison term for corruption. Lula has proclaimed his innocence, saying the corruption charges were filed in an attempt to prevent him from running in this year’s election, which he was expected to win. Supporters of Lula say his conviction is a continuation of the right-wing coup that ousted Lula’s ally, President Dilma Rousseff, from power in 2016.
