A horrifying expose of organized crime in the US and the rest of the world. Today, every country seems to have its own Mafia, and crime – like every other busines – has been quick to take advantage of the new global economy. Business is good, with over $150 billion laundered each year in Europe alone, as links are formed between the Mafia, the Triads, the Yardies, the Yakuza, the Russian Mafiya and the South American cartels. This book looks in detail at the specific groups involved, the crimes they commit, and the everyday lives of their members.
