VERY BAD PEOPLE
Εκδότης MONORAY , ISBN 9781913183493
Arms trafficking, offshore accounts and luxury property deals. Super-yachts, private jets
and super-car collections. Blood diamonds, suspect oil deals, deforestation and murder.
This is the world of Global Witness, the award-winning organisation dedicated to rooting
out worldwide corruption. And this is co-founder Patrick Alley's revealing inside track on a
breath-taking catalogue of modern super-crimes - and the 'shadow network' that enables
them.
VERY BAD PEOPLE is about following the money, going undercover in the world's most
dangerous places, and bringing down the people behind the crimes. Case by case we see
maverick investigators pitched against warlords, grifters and super-villains who bear
every resemblance to The Night Manager's Richard Roper. One dictator's son spent $700
million in just four years on his luxury lifestyle.
As they unravel crooked deals of labyrinthine complexity, the team encounter well-known
corporations whose operations are no less criminal than the Mafia. This network of
lawyers, bankers and real estate agents help park dirty money in London, New York, or in
offshore accounts, safe from prying eyes.
Patrick Alley's book is a brilliant, authoritative and fearless investigation into the darkest
workings of our world - and an inspiration to all of us who want to fight back.
