Brazil’s former leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will decide soon whether to accept a job in the government to shield himself from a corruption probe and help fight the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff, according to people aware of the discussions.
Lula, who has been charged with money laundering, on Tuesday afternoon is set to discuss with the president the cabinet position she offered him, said one of the people who asked not to be named because the discussions were private. The decision could face delays after details of a plea bargain between Rousseff’s former leader in the Senate Delcidio Amaral and prosecutors linked senior administration officials to a sweeping corruption scandal.
