Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, former president of Brazil, is facing corruption charges filed by federal prosecutors who accuse him of taking part in the Petrobras bribery scandal. On Tuesday, a Brazilian judge ruled he will stand trial. Lula was Dilma Rousseff's political mentor. She was impeached on Aug. 31 and removed from office. Rousseff previously named Lula her chief of staff, which shielded him from prosecution until she was impeached. Photo courtesy of Instituto Lula
