Brazil Corruption: Verdict expected for former president Lula

On Wednesday, the appeals court will deliver a verdict on former President Lula da Silva. Judges will decide whether to uphold his 10-year-jail sentence for corruption and money laundering.

TRT World's Anelise Borges travelled to Brazil and reports on the impact Lula's case is having on the country's already scandal-hit political scene.
