Brazils Lula says innocent but ready to surrender

Brazils former leftist president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said today he had been falsely accused of corruption but was ready to surrender for arrest.

In his first comments since being ordered to start a 12-year prison sentence for accepting a luxury apartment as a bribe, Lula told cheering supporters that he was "an outraged citizen."
But Lula, 72, said: "I will comply with their warrant."
