> the accusations of Lula being implicated in the Lava Jato wasn't substantiated

They were, with an overwhelming amount of evidence of several different wrongdoings.

Just to point, he was tried for 2 different crimes, by 4 different judges each, and found guilty every time.

> In the end all of the major charges against Lula were annulled

By those same political judges the GP is talking about. Based on the trial not following a law that was created 2 years later, with the explicit intent of making trial of politicians harder.

> and the charge that got him sent to jail was a political character assassination job

And that's, to be blunt, absolute bullshit. The charges were never formally decided after the trial was annulled, they are still open, sealed back into secrecy, and pending judgement.

I'm not familiar with some of these accusations. Is there any reputable reporting on them?

Then you're just guess posting for your ingroup.

I don't think so? I'm asking for sources that I can read from people who are making claims to, to support their assertions. I've posted material that is more recent than the first post I replied to, and I haven't seen anything more recent from you or the couple of other folks who seem to have formed the opinion that what I've related is either false or incomplete. So please help a brother out here.
Anything about the trials will have them.
But I haven't found them when searching. would you do me the courtesy of providing links to the material you are referencing?
