He said during an interview with France 24 that justice will be done in his case, which only “is a matter of time. Where I was born, those who do not die before the five years of hunger will not die from a complaint. They will learn what it is to mess with an honest and decent citizen. I will prove that the thieves were the ones who arrested me.”
The Leader of the Workers Party ( PT ), who has been serving a sentence for alleged acts of corruption since 2018, reaffirmed his will to restore Brazil’s dignity, highlights a publication on the Telesur website.
