SUMMARY:

The practice known as lawfare – the use of law as a weapon of war – has sparked debates both in society and in academic circles. In the Brazilian case, Car Wash Operation, notably in its action against Lula, constitutes a case study to scientifically demonstrate this phenomenon. Observed in its military, social and political typologies, lawfare presents an instrumental dimension, aimed at destabilizing, delegitimizing and destroying political enemies. In its structural dimension, lawfare presents itself as an element shaping an order based on neoliberal rationality. In Brazil, in a context of Latin American hybrid wars, led by US geopolitical interests, lawfare had its main vector in Car Wash Operation, constituting an important political actor on the national scene, contributing decisively to the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff and the electoral banning of Lula and, consequently, to the rise to power of Temer and Bolsonaro, with their neoliberal reform agendas, based on the “A Bridge to the Future” program. Thus, Car Wash came to constitute a central element for the expansion and consolidation of neoliberalism in the country.
