15.11.2025
Brazil’s federal police formally accused President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva ’s former human rights minister Silvio Almeida of sexual misconduct after he was fired over the allegations last year, a police official said Saturday. If they do so, the Supreme Court will either throw them out or accept them, in which case Almeida would face a trial. Local media outlets reported that police had formally accused Almeida on Friday.
