SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva should be cleared of any wrongdoing in one of several corruption cases pending against him in federal court due to a lack of evidence, prosecutors said on Friday.
The federal prosecutors said in a statement that former Senator Delcidio Amaral had lied about Lula, as one of the country's most popular politicians is known, as part of a plea-bargain agreement.
