Gomora

In Gomora, Roberto Saviano shows the Camorra’s grip on Naples. Naples is his home city. This violent crime network has changed life across Campania, in southern Italy. It sells drugs and moves toxic waste through illicit trade abroad. It also makes money from unlawful deals in land and buildings. High-end fashion brings it more illicit gains.

The book probes the ties between crime, money and power. Saviano grew up seeing crime and injustice around him. He went into the Camorra’s world to show how it works. He kept close watch on its crime groups, or cartels. Once the book came out, he faced death threats. These forced him to live under armed guard. He had to move time and again to stay safe.
