While charging a former president with criminal offenses was a first in the United States with Trump, in other countries ex-leaders are routinely investigated, prosecuted and even jailed.
A Manhattan jury on May 30, 2024, convicted former President Donald Trump on charges he falsified business records related to the cover-up of his relationship with an adult film star.
Many Brazilians thought his prosecution was a politicized effort to end his career, but Lula was elected in October 2022.A year later, the same prosecutorial team accused the conservative former President Michel Temer of accepting millions in bribes. After his term ended in 2019, Temer was arrested; his trial was later suspended.Both Brazilian presidents’ prosecutions were part of a yearslong, sweeping anti-corruption probe by the courts that has jailed dozens of politicians.
