Curitiba (Brazil) (AFP) - Brazil's former leftist president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva faced the country's top anti-corruption judge Wednesday in a trial that could doom his bid to return to power in 2018.
Lula, 71, was being grilled by Judge Sergio Moro on charges that he received a bribe in the form of a seaside apartment near Sao Paulo.
He arrived at the courthouse in the southern city of Curitiba at 2:00 pm (1700 GMT) for the hearing, which was barred to the public and media.
