Justice under Suspicion plot

After nearly three decades of democratic stability, Brazil is flirting with fascism. Director Maria Ramos looks at this dangerous development, the decisive role that the judiciary plays in this process and how lawfare - using the law as a weapon against political opponents - threatens democracy around the world. Three journalists from the newspaper El País investigate how an anti-corruption operation is being misused by an unscrupulous judge as a tool of ideological persecution and how it helped the far right and Bolsonaro to power.
