Flavio seems to be a mob leader, why anybody would care that Lula was caught stealing things?

Your cause and effect are inverted. It's precisely because of Lula's corruption that nobody cares anymore.

He was arrested for the biggest corruption scandal this country ever had. People ratted him out. He was the guy at the top.

Then the supreme court cited some technicality like "his initial judgement took place in the wrong court" and just undid the entire thing. They did it because nobody else could take out Bolsonaro.

Then he ran against Bolsonaro and took him out in 2022. And he just did it again.

It's Brazil. Crime pays. Lula's existence is proof. This country will never truly change.
