==Inspiration==

''Poder Paralelo'' is based on ''Honra ou Vendetta'', the only novel by sports journalist and cuisine author Sílvio Lancelotti, originally published in 2001.<ref>{{in lang|pt}} LP&M Editores.

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.
