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.

Autoren-Porträt von Jorge Pontes, Marcio Anselmo
Jorge Pontes is a graduate from the FBI National Academy. He spent almost thirty years working for the Federal Police—first as an agent and later as a police chief—both nationwide and abroad, and devoted most of his career to the creation and implementation of units specializing in fighting environmental crime. He was an instructor at the National Police Academy and, in 2006, received the British Parliament Green Apple Award for his operations in the Brazilian Amazon. He was Regional Superintendent for Pernambuco, coordinator-general and elected member of Interpol’s executive committee, and is former director of teaching and statistics at the National Public Security Department (Senasp), under the Ministry of Justice.Márcio Anselmo graduated in law from the State University of Londrina. He joined the Federal Police as a clerk in 2004, stationed in Guaíra, and has since been actively involved in investigating financial crime, corruption and money laundering. He worked on the Banestado case in Brasília, and led the investigations on Operation Faktor, around which time he completed his master’s degree. While working on the investigations that gave rise to Operation Car Wash, he studied for a doctorate in international law at the University of São Paulo. From 2018 to 2020, he occupied the post of coordinator-general of the corruption and money laundering unit. He teaches on post-graduate courses in Brazil and has published various books and papers on organized crime and money laundering.
Pressezitat
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.
