He can't be Boss Eyed Nestor's brother, but he has similar traits: cocked up eyes, thieving money grand style, foreign travel!

I bet he wished he had stayed outside the country.

Is Lula going to get arrested anytime soon? Ha, ha, ha.

Cyclops should enter with a plea bargain....if he gave evidence that lead to put the biggest crook of all, Lula, behind bars, he would deserve an official pardon....

@3 Hippy,
If you don't live in Brazil, and are obviously unaware of what goes on here, why do you always come up with silly remarks such as “ I can only assume that you have the evidence with which you can back up your assertions”, bla,bla bla..

You can be sure that Lulla has covered his tracks very well, so as far as evidence is concerned , it'll be hard to find.....but, on the other hand, a man who arrived in the presidency in 2003 with only one apartment in his name, and an old car, all not worth more than US$ 100 thousand, and left 8 years later with a fortune of US$ 2 billion, IS a bloody crook ; but if that is not enough to convince you he's a crook, then what about the fact that the people who engineered and carried out the 'mensalão', and those responsible for the corruption in Petrobrás, are all his closest personal friends and were appointed by him, while president....and when fatty D took over, Lulla 'ordered' her to maintain these crooks, so that the party (with the taxpayer's money) could go on....it is clear you idolize certain politicians, and even when overwhelming evidence of their wrongdoing is rubbed in your face, you refuse to accept the facts......not the sign of an intelligent person.
