Lula Threatens Bolsonaro with Prosecution During Presidential Debate
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva warned Senator Flávio Bolsonaro during a televised debate that he could lose immunity and face advancing investigations after the October 25 runoff.
Flávio Bolsonaro challenged Lula over corruption-related investigations involving Lula’s family, while Lula questioned Bolsonaro’s political and financial relationships.
The warning was political rather than a formal legal decision, as prosecution and immunity questions follow judicial and constitutional processes.
A DataTrends poll published October 19 gave Bolsonaro 51.5% and Lula 48.5% of valid votes, within a 2.19-point margin of error.
