Reuters: Brazil prosecutors charge Lula in money laundering probe
Former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was charged in a money laundering investigation led by Sao Paulo state prosecutors on Wednesday, intensifying scrutiny of the politician questioned in a separate federal graft probe last week.
A spokesman for the state prosecutors declined to specify the charges, but state investigators have said they suspect Lula's family owned an undeclared beachfront apartment in the city of Guaruja.
Federal investigators echoed those allegations after they detained Lula for questioning in police custody on Friday, fanning a political crisis that has rattled his successor, President Dilma Rousseff.

Super political. His opponents want to push the privatizaton of Petrobras' holdings. Lula could stand for re-election in '18. He's an obstacle to the Gaucho gang.
Political?
Maybe.
But his successor holds many of the strings.
