BRAZILIAN JUDICIARY EMERGES STRONGER AFTER "CASH FOR VOTES" CORRUPTION TRIALS.


I suggest  a very good article by Mr. Noronha, an outstanding Brazilian lawyer, founder of Noronha Advogados, a Brazilian law firm with a truly international practice (they have office in London, Shangah and Lisbon, among other places).

 I had the honor to be a member of Noronha Advogados a few years ago.

The article comments on the Mensalão scandal.

BRAZILIAN JUDICIARY EMERGES STRONGER AFTER CASH FOR VOTES CORRUPTION TRIALS. 

Twenty five people have been found guilty earlier October 2012 by the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court (STF) in the trials of the accused of vote buying in the Brazilian Federal Congress. Amongst the defendants, there were some of Brazil's top politicians, such as José Dirceu, President Lula's chief of staff between 2003 and 2005, and José Genoíno, president of the Worker's Party. The 11 judge's members of the panel were in their majority appointed by President Lula, as was the General Prosecutor, responsible for pressing the charges.
