São Paulo prosecutors are accusing Lula da Silva and his wife, Marisa Letícia Lula da Silva, of concealing their ownership of a luxury apartment on the coast.
The property is registered in the name of construction company OAS, itself a target in the Petrobras probe.
The move is a new blow to Lula da Silva, who governed Brazil between 2003 and 2010.
São Paulo prosecutors on Wednesday filed charges against former Brazil president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in connection with money laundering and misrepresentation of assets, according to the Brazilian media.
In order to protect a man who remains a towering figure in the Workers’ Party (PT) and a potential candidate in the 2018 presidential elections, a few ministers have offered Lula da Silva the chance to fill a government position.
