Former Brazil President Luiz Lula da Silva was most likely headed to win an election but the law is not a respecter of people. Big or small.
The populist politician is the latest president to be jailed. Lula surrendered himself to police on Sunday, ending a dramatic standoff. He is serving a 12-year prison sentence for corruption having accepted a luxury apartment as a bribe from a construction company and is the biggest scalp so far in the "Car Wash” campaign against graft.
