The aim of this paper is to analyze the applicability of the north american lawfare theory, which understands Law as a weapon of war, to solve disputes between political groups within the sovereign states. The problem faced was whether the criminal justice system is being used as a policy instrument in Brazil and whether the media agenda affects legal actions. The methodology used was the bibliographical analysis on lawfare and concrete cases, so the criteria for measuring the political lawfare and its instruments were established. It was concluded that the criminal system has been used as political lawfare in Brazil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
