The court ruled in favor of the presidential candidate and her political party Rede, which challenged five links posted in 2017 by the right wing page "Partido Anti-PT" (the Anti-Worker's Party, in Portuguese) claiming Silva was being investigated by Operation Car Wash, a major money-laundering investigation involving more than 100 Brazilian oil executives and politicians. 
Mahakama ilimpa ushindi mgombea Urais na chama chake cha Rede ambacho kilihoji taarifa tano zilizotumwa na ukurasa wa right wing zikidai Silva alikuwa anachunguzwa na kampuni ya kuosha gari ya Operation, kwa ajili ya utakatishaji wa fedha ambao ulihusisha wabrazili 100, maofisa wa mafuta na wanasiasa.
