Appeals Judge Rogerio Favreto ruled for the release from prison of Brazilian ex-president Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva*I urgently need donations and support:Name:Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,Acct.no.:4240853014,Bank:FCMB in Nigeria,My facebook acct.:www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,Phone no.:+2349092171875* on Sunday, just three months after his arrest was ordered by the Brazilian Supreme Court.
The decision would allow Lula to leave prison as he awaits the result of an appeal on his conviction. If it stands, Favreto's ruling on Sunday would be a major victory for the former president, who has maintained his innocence and is hoping to run in the October presidential elections.
But Brazilian federal judge Sergio Moro threatened to block the move, saying to reporters that Judge Favreto "did not have the authority" to grant Lula's freedom. Appeals*I urgently need donations and support:Name:Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,Acct.no.:4240853014,Bank:FCMB in Nigeria,My facebook acct.:www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,Phone no.:+2349092171875* judge Joao Gebran Neto echoed Moro's assertion and blocked the Favreto ruling, forbiding federal police from releasing the ex-president.
The former president's legal team had argued that Lula should be allowed to remain free until all legal appeals in the case had been exhausted.
'No legal grounds' 
Judge Favreto of the Fourth Regional Federal Court in the city of Porto Alegre had granted a*I urgently need donations and support:Name:Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,Acct.no.:4240853014,Bank:FCMB in Nigeria,My facebook acct.:www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,Phone no.:+2349092171875* habeas corpus decision for Lula, citing a lack of legal grounds to keep the ex-president in prison.
Lula had been serving a 12-year sentence for his alleged involvement in a major corruption case.
Favreto requested that Lula's release be executed as a matter of "urgency," by which he could be set free as early as Sunday. But it remained unclear whether Lula would leave prison soon, or at all.
Electoral ambitions
While Lula's release was welcome news to his supporters, the*I urgently need donations and support:Name:Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,Acct.no.:4240853014,Bank:FCMB in Nigeria,My facebook acct.:www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,Phone no.:+2349092171875* fate of his candidacy in the October elections is still in the hands of an electoral court.
A June survey of voters confirmed Lula's persistent popularity. According to polling agency "Datafolha," Lula was leading the presidential election race with 31 percent of likely voters.
The former president held a 13 percent advantage over his closest opponent, conservative candidate *I urgently need donations and support:Name:Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,Acct.no.:4240853014,Bank:FCMB in Nigeria,My facebook acct.:www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,Phone no.:+2349092171875*Jair Bolsonaro. But Brazilians were also ambivalent, with 20 percent having no preferred candidate.

    FALLEN LEADERS

    Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Brazil

    Lula has been found guilty of corruption and money laundering for his involvement in the "Car Wash" scandal, an extensive corruption probe that uncovered widespread bribery among Brazil's elites. Lula, who held the presidential office between 2003 and 2010, was sentenced to 9.5 years in jail. He still has a chance to appeal the ruling.
