| [AL JAZEERA]Brazil's former president has until Friday 20:00 GMT to turn himself in to start serving a 12-year sentence. A Brazilian judge has issued an arrest warrant for Luiz Inacio 'Lula' da Silva, giving the once wildly popular ex-president until 5pm local time (20:00 GMT) on Friday to turn himself in. Federal Judge Sergio Moro issued the warrant on Thursday evening, less than a day after the country's Supreme Court denied a request for habeas corpus from Lula da Silva who appealed a January court ruling that saw him sentenced to 12 years in prison on corruption charges. |
