Maxiprocesso

Maxiprocesso, or "Mega-Trial," was a major legal case in Brazil during the late 1980s, aimed at dismantling a fascist and neo-Nazi organization called the "Army of the Fatherland." It involved extensive legal proceedings against numerous members, investigating their involvement in violent, extremist activities. The case highlighted issues of judicial efficiency and the challenges of prosecuting organized hate groups. Ultimately, Maxiprocesso represented a significant effort by Brazilian authorities to combat extremism and reinforce the rule of law during a period of political transition.
