He was convicted but the conviction was overturned because it was fraudulent. So he is technically an ex-con but not in the traditional sense. He was once convicted of a crime, but he was later cleared of the charges.

case was dropped due to loophole , not because he was acquitted of the crimes

You are wrong. Again, I'll refer you to that link, but the general gist is that the only material witness recounted his testimony and the judge was crooked.

there were 8 judges and they read his crimes for 4 hours , the only crook was his friend in the supreme court got him out of prison because the trial was supposed to take place in Brasilia instead of Curitiba , he got him out on technicality , not because he was proven innocent

You can deny the truth all you like, it doesn't make it not the truth. The man was convicted by a crooked judge, the conviction was overturned because the only material evidence was fabricated, and he is a free man without that crime on his record.

Keep believing the lies you're being fed of you want. We're done here.
