The legal team of former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) is preparing a lawsuit against Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) for alleging that he had a connection with a property in the United States that belongs to Mauro Cid, a former assistant to the Presidency in the past government.

Lula’s speech against the former president was given this Friday morning (12) at an event in Fortaleza, where he said that a US$ 8 million house was discovered that would belong to Bolsonaro. “Surely an $8 million house is not for the aide,” she said.

Shortly afterwards, Fabio Wajngarten, who works as Bolsonaro’s lawyer and press advisor, said on social media that the former president’s legal team “is already taking the necessary steps to repair yet another lie.”

“His lack of control, his unique feeling of revenge, is becoming more evident every day, to the detriment of taking care of Brazil and its population”, he said in the twitter along with a video of Lula’s speech with a “fake news” stamp on top.
