Brazil's ex-president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva turned himself in to federal police on Saturday, after supporters tried to prevent him from handing himself over to the authorities.

 

巴西前总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦周六向联邦警方自首，此前他的支持者曾阻止他向当局自首。
 

 

After supporters blocked his vehicle, Lula left the headquarters of the Metalworkers' Union in this city in Sao Paulo state on foot.

 

The embattled former head of state had spent the last two nights in the building, where he began his political career as a union leader.
