Bloomsbury presents Operation Car Wash by Jorge Pontes and Márcio Anselmo, read by Ed Hughes.

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.©2023 Marcio Anselmo (P)2023 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

批評家のレビュー

Two law-enforcement officials reflect on a Brazilian corruption scandal… Their thesis is that Brazil suffers from “institutionalised crime”, by which they mean “a fraudulent system that operates with the blessing on the nation’s power structures and the support of a network that pervades all three powers of the state… But their pleas for the independence of the Federal Police, and for more resources for the force, are well made. They are particularly scathing about the distorted priorities imposed by the war on drugs: tens of thousands of poor Brazilians have been locked up while the crimes of the rich and powerful have often gone unpunished.
Uncovering a corruption scandal in Brazil… As senior investigators in several of the most high-profile Lava Jato (Car Wash) investigations, Jorge Pontes and Márcio Anselmo are well-placed observers of how Brazil’s corrupt politico-industrial complex functions. (Patrick Wilcken)
Operation Car Wash presents an in-depth analysis of corruption and the case that shook Brazil … The authors provide an unparalleled view into what they term “institutionalized crime” as opposed to “organized crime.” The latter is the stuff of Al Capone—the former is what happens when the whole of government and whole of society colludes into expropriating the wealth of the state for personal gain. It is rare to get such an inside look at institutionalized corruption—corruption that runs from the legislative branch through to the office of the president, aided and abetted by the judiciary, and facilitated by corporate titans. (Joshua Huminski)
The book reads like a victory lap around Operation Car Wash. (Rachel Nolan)
Pontes and Anselmo draw on their decades of experience in the Federal Police to offer a riveting account of the insidious insider game of institutionalized corruption in Brazil. The authors’ decades of experience in law enforcement enables them to authoritatively demonstrate how the political system has repeatedly quashed anti-corruption efforts, across a range of different presidential administrations, both before and after the massive Car Wash investigations. Readers of this fast-paced book will never think about Brazilian democracy, or systemic corruption, in the same way again.
Jorge Pontes and Marcio Anselmo have completed a necessary, detailed and brilliant job with the demonstration of the mechanisms of institutional corruption in Brazil. Going from the details of complex investigations to a refined analysis of a system that undermine democracy is no easy task.

This book is not only the best analysis of recent Brazilian situation, but rings the bell for international research to assess every country’s level of institutional corruption.
