Prosecutors, Voters, and the Criminalization of Corruption in Latin America

The Case of Lava Jato

Beschreibung

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.
