==Plot==

The telenovela focuses on Tony Castellamare, a Brazilian citizen of Italian origin living in [[Palermo]]. He maintains the image of a merchant exporter, but is actually the leader of the [[Sicily|Sicilian]] [[Narcotic|drug]] [[mafiaMafia]]. After an attack aimed at him kills his wife Marina and their twin daughters, Tony returns to [[São Paulo]] seeking revenge, at the same time he is investigated by the uncorruptible [[Federal Police (Brazil)Department|federal police]] officer Teolônio "Téo" Meira .<ref>{{in lang|pt}} [http://www.rederecord.com.br/imprensa/noticias.asp?n=10064 Information about ''Poder Paralelo'' on Rede Record pressroom site] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141211072052/http://www.rederecord.com.br/imprensa/noticias.asp?n=10064 |date=2014-12-11 }}. Accessed April 13, 2009.</ref>.

==Inspiration==

''Poder Paralelo'' is based on ''Honra ou Vendetta'', the only novel by sports journalist and cuisine author Sílvio Lancelotti, originally published onin 2001 .<ref>{{in lang|pt}} LP&M Editores. [http://www.lpm-editores.com.br/v3/artigosnoticias/user_exibir.asp?ID=933629 "Novela baseada em Honra ou Vendetta, de Sílvio Lancelotti, estréia em março na Record"] January 27, 2009. Accessed April 13, 2009.</ref>. The 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 [[Protógenes Queiroz]], responsible for the investigation and arrest of banker [[Daniel Dantas (entrepreneur)|Daniel Dantas]], accused of [[money laundering]] and convicted for attempting to [[bribe]] a federal police officer .<ref>{{in lang|pt}} Mattos, Laura.

''[[Folha de S. Paulo]]'' (link via [[Observatório da Imprensa]]). August 10, 2008. Accessed April 13, 2009.</ref>.

==Editing controversy==

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