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]
