Prosecutors claim Lula is guilty of corruption, money laundering and receiving bribes from construction company OAS, one of the engineering and construction firms at the center of the Petrobras scandal.
But two years ago, as the Petrobras probe became public, prosecutors began to close in on the former president.
If they [prosecutors] can prove even a single corrupt act on my part, I will walk to the police station in the same way people go to the [Catholic pilgrimage site] Aparecida do Norte to pay for their sins,” he added.
Lula is accused of accepting a luxury apartment in Guarujá, on the coast of São Paulo from construction company OAS.
He has denied ownership of the three-floor condo, and his lawyers have dismissed the charges as a political plot to stymie his political comeback.
