In English | Extortion letter from Luís Caetano Leirós de Andrade e Castro, under the alias of António Chuço In the first quarter of the 19th century, extortion letters became a very typical practice. Authors threatened rich addressees with all sorts of ruinous events in the case they didn't hand in a certain amount of money. The frequentness of this practice was possible also because of the political and social turmoil associated with these first years of Liberalism. |
