World Mafia Spa: How Organized Crime Became a Global Business (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798199828284)

For decades, organized crime was portrayed as a collection of local gangs, street bosses, and criminal families.

The reality is far more complex.

Today, criminal organizations operate like multinational corporations. They move goods across continents, infiltrate legitimate businesses, exploit global supply chains, influence politics, launder billions through financial networks, and adapt faster than many governments.

From ports and shipping routes to drug trafficking, human exploitation, corruption, cybercrime, and international money laundering, World Mafia SPA explores the transformation of organized crime into one of the most powerful economic forces on Earth.

Drawing on years of research, criminological analysis, and real-world investigations, Francesco Paolo Esposito reveals how criminal networks evolved from local syndicates into global enterprises.

This is not a book about gangsters.

It is a book about systems.

About power.

About money.

About the hidden architecture of the global criminal economy.

Perfect for readers interested in criminology, organized crime, criminal psychology, geopolitics, intelligence, investigative journalism, and true crime.
