The Brazilian prosecutor who led the prosecution of Lula and became a national hero among some, was just ordered by a court to pay Lula $75,000 for defaming Lula by publicly accusing him of being head of an organized crime ring. Meanwhile, Lula leads all 2022 polls.
In 2019, Lula was in prison on a 10-year sentence. His judge, @SF_Moro was the all-powerful Justice Minister. Now, Lula is free and the favorite to be win. That judge, also running, is disgraced and 30 points behind. And now this prosecutor has to pay Lula. Quite a turnaround.
(Correction: the lead prosecutor and former national hero, @deltanmd, has been ordered to pay Lula R$ 75,000, not $75,000. It was for this laughable, third-grade Power Point he made and showed to the public to "prove" Lula was the Kingpin of all organized crime). 
The misconduct of this judge and the team of prosecutors he improperly and secretly commended was the subject of the 18-month exposé we did in Brazil, that resulted in Lula's release from prison.
