I mean... if the legal systems in Latin America functioned properly Lula and most of his counterparts, right-wing or left-wing, throughout the region would be in prison. I haven't seen anyone serious assert that he isn't actually guilty of corruption, simply that the judges who convicted him of said corruption were intent on achieving political goals. I'd say both can be true. Lula is corrupt and his corruption was singled out because it was politically convenient.
