In the aftermath of a high-profile heist that shakes São Paulo to its core, Criminal Code plunges deep into the heart of Brazil’s criminal underworld—where digital fingerprints are permanent, but moral lines are erased with blood.
Federal agent Benício Almeida is still reeling from a botched sting that left his partner dead and a syndicate more powerful than ever. When encrypted data tied to the robbery surfaces, Benício joins a specialized cyber-crime unit racing to decode a digital trail before it disappears forever. But in a world where crime has evolved faster than the law, the real question is: who’s watching whom?
As the team unravels layers of betrayal, loyalty, and tech-fueled warfare, their investigation leads to an elusive mastermind known only as “O Fantasma”—a ghost in the network, manipulating systems, people, and justice itself. With time running out and allies vanishing, Benício must decide how far he’s willing to go to catch a criminal who always seems two keystrokes ahead.
Stylishly directed and grounded in gritty realism, Criminal Code is more than a crime thriller—it’s a confrontation between old-school instincts and new-age surveillance. Combining the tension of classic noir with the urgency of cyber-espionage, Netflix delivers a razor-sharp series where every choice leaves a digital scar.
When justice becomes a code, can it still serve the truth? Or will the system protect those who know how to break it?
