    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The plot is inspired by a true story which unfolded in 2012, where 18 members of the anti-criminality brigade were arrested for organized drug traffic and extortion, with 7 going straight to jail before trial. It was a big scandal which made the headlines at the time, and even resulted in the Prime Minister disbanding the unit.
