McMafia:
A Journey Through the Global Criminal Underworld is the dark, riveting
journey through the panoply of criminal organizations flourishing in an
increasingly globalized world, reaching from the sex trade in Bulgaria and internet
fraud in Nigeria to the ‘caviar mafia’ in Central Asia and marijuana markets in
British Columbia.
In this discussion, moderated by Âé¶¹¹û¶³´«Ã½’s Peter Bergen, Misha Glenny, the
BBC’s Balkans correspondent during the 1990s, held forth on his book and the global criminal underground’s
illicit economy, which may account for some 20 percent of the world’s GDP.
A full recording of this event is not available, due to technical difficulties; we apologize for the inconvenience. Video of a Glenny’s opening remarks, however, will be posted shortly.
