Geopolitics of Intervention
Lava Jato and the Crisis In this controversial and surprising book: Geopolitics of Intervention, lawyer and political scientist Fernando Augusto Fernandes dismantles the story that Operation Car Wash was (and still is) an unsuspected investigation to combat the crimes of corrupt politicians and prominent corrupt business people. Its primary purpose was to destabilize the PT government, hit the democratic system, destroy national engineering, weaken the oil and gas program, and facilitate the looting of national wealth. All to create the conditions needed for a right-wing liberal government, which ended up resulting in the election of an underdog and the most signifi cant political, economic, social, and health crisis ever experienced by the country.
