Brazil prosecutors hit ex-president Lula with more corruption charges

Brazilian federal prosecutors on Thursday charged former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva with more corruption charges tied to the massive probe into graft at state-run oil company Petrobras. It is now up to crusading anti-corruption federal judge Sergio Moro to decide if the fresh charges will result in yet another trial for Lula. Lula is already on trial in Moro's southern Brazil court for separate corruption charges, with a ruling not expected before late January or early February.
