I wasn't a big fan of Gomorrah. The author comes off as an FBI agent if he was American, and not a regular citizen with his sensational claims and use of bogus financial numbers. From Savino's claims the Camorra control the global arms, drug, human trafficking, and counterfitting trades amongst others. There is no doubt they are a powerful organization, but I don't think they are nearly as powerful as he claims.
Agreed. And it is a pretty dry read too. International organized crime is definitely a multi-culti agenda, not one organization monopolizes but rather it is networked through organizations co-operating with one another internationally.
I thought I was gonna be delivered a first-hand account, meet the personalities on both sides of the law. I was anticipating an entrepid journalist's penetration into perhaps even the inner-sanctum of the Camorra. But rather it did come across a sensational piece better suited for primetime television than material for a book.
Yes, it just like countries in the age of globalism, none is self sufficient, they have to trade with other countries. It is the same with criminal groups, they have to work with each other, not one group controls all the rackets. Savino tried to make it out like the Cammora had its tentacles wrapped around the globe, and control just about every racket under the sun. It is like how he claims the Cammora controls the drug trade, but they ain't growing cocaine or heroin in Naples, the Cammora have to get those drugs from someone.
