Linha Direta (lit. Direct Line) is a Brazilian television program broadcast by Globo Network. Similar in style and loosely based on the United States program, America's Most Wanted, this program has helped the Brazilian authorities apprehend many criminals at large trying to escape justice. The program was cancelled in 2007, but revived in 2023.[1]
There were two special editions of the program: Linha Direta Justiça that presented famous Brazilian crimes, like the Candelária massacre, the death of Josef Mengele and the Jules Rimet Trophy theft in Rio de Janeiro; and the Linha Direta Mistério, about stories of the supernatural, like the Operação Prato, the legend of the thirteen souls that died on the Joelma fire and cases of NDE.
All shows feature reenactments using actors as well as interviews with journalists and principal characters.
