Produktbeschreibung
A Financial Times Book to Read in 2022 Operation Car Wash is the inside story of two Brazilian Federal Police officers who found themselves at the centre of the biggest corruption scandal in history; uncovering a web of political and corporate racketeering which would lead them all the way to the arrest and imprisonment of the nation's President. Through engrossing first-hand testimony, Pontes and Anselmo recount the uphill battle faced by the Federal Police in apprehending Brazil's white-collar criminals, in a country where the war on drugs has become a convenient distraction for the politicians and businessmen extracting billions of dollars from the public purse. A historical record that reads like a political police thriller, Operation Car Wash is also a warning to the world: demonstrating how easily institutionalized crime can take root in a nation, and how difficult it can be to eradicate.

Rezensionen
Car Wash, arguably the largest and most far-reaching global corruption scandal, was long overdue for a serious literary investigation. Pontes and Anselmo have accomplished exactly that in this compact, highly readable book, which should be a must read for anyone serious about weeding our corruption. The impact of Car Wash on Brazilian society and politics was far reaching and brought down many of the untouchables. It also entangled many other governments in the America's. The authors offer useful advice to help avoid similar occurrences. Get this book you will not be disappointed!
