Lava Jato, the largest transnational bribery case in history, shocked Latin American politics. This book explains why the investigation gained momentum in some countries, becoming an anti-corruption crusade. It examines public reactions, finding that prosecutors' unprecedented zeal eroded the tacit consensus around the merits of anti-corruption.
