In this work, we present the results of an analysis of the functioning of clandestine recordings as a means of evidence production, in Brazil, in criminal investigations and criminal proceedings of the cases "Fernando Collor" and "DelcídioAmaral". The question that we try to answer concerns the effects of meaning of illicit, legal effect and safety of these instruments of evidence production. The corpus was constituted of the judgments of the two cases. In the analysis, we mobilized theoretical assumptions of Discourse Analysis, in particular, the concepts of discursive memory and places of discursive memory.
