Ultimately, he was given amnesty,[2] and elected as a congressman for São Paulo, serving between 1982 and 2002.[3] At the end of 2002, he was elected president of the Brazilian Workers Party.[4] In 2012, he was found guilty of corruption in one of the largest corruption scandals case by the Brazilian Supreme Court and, as of 2014, is under house arrest.
