Book description
In this ground-breaking book, Antonio Nicaso, an internationally
renowned expert on organized crime groups, and Lee Lamothe, a veteran
investigative journalist specializing in criminal conspiracies, present
solid evidence of how established organized crime groups - such as the
Mafia and the Triads - have changed their tactics and allegiances to
protect their interests against the rise of violent and power-hungry
gangs from Albania, Mexico, and Russia.
Angels, Mobsters, & Narco-Terrorists reveals how, due to
their shared border, the USA and Canada have become prime targets for
criminal groups that engage in money laundering and prostitution
rings, and trafficking in human cargo, narcotics, and arms. On the
international scene, state-sanctioned crime is thriving on heroin
profits and cyber crime is emerging as a very lucrative and baffling
activity to investigate and shut down.
Dive inside the world of organized crime and discover how far it has
penetrated our lives.
