Poder Paralelo (English: Another Power) is a Brazilian

Italian-Brazilian family. Prior to Record's official announcement, the media was referring to the telenovela by its working title Vendetta.[2]
It ran for one season.

Plot

The telenovela focuses on Tony Castellamare, a Brazilian citizen of Italian origin living in

federal police officer Teolônio "Téo" Meira.[3]

Inspiration

Poder Paralelo is based on Honra ou Vendetta, the only novel by sports journalist and cuisine author Sílvio Lancelotti, originally published in 2001.[4] The plot, however, had to be readapted, since the book contained only five major female characters.

According to Muniz, Téo is based on the federal police officer

bribe a federal police officer.[5]

Editing controversy

The head of Rede Record vetoed Muniz from writing scenes featuring thighs, breasts, buttocks and coarse language. This caused a controversy in Brazil, as well as accusations of hypocrisy from the head of the network, once violent scenes, featuring as even as torture, remained untouched.
