Mafia expert Roberto Saviano: European Leaders won't admit to Mafia - global conversation

His life is inextricably linked to the Mafia, which he exposed and denounced more than 10 years ago in his book 'Gomorrah', now a television series.
Since then Italian author and Mafia expert "Roberto Saviano": / robertosaviano has lived in hiding, dodging death threats because his book so incensed the Mafia.
But that has not stopped him in his relentless research into international crime, the drugs, the money and the violence that fuels them.

Intelligent, great comunicator and huge balls. This man is the paradigm of the journalism. My respects Roberto.

[@MoralesCorner]

He's really an universal treasure

[@inferno0020]

This video deserves more than 100 million views because Saviano pretty much summed up how the evil of our time works.

[@VileCAESARB]

They don't talk about because they take kick backs. It's long known that US gov worked with US mafia during WW2, the intelligence links from agency to organised crime.

[@congoclash]

The Italian Assange, Saviano is a sea of information who knows how to follow the money trail.

[@pirimpallopirimpalli4932]

Except that Saviano doesn't smuggle information, he gathers what would be on hand to anyone willing to search for it

[@buddhababy2005]

Interesting for me as a Brit (and Remainer) to hear that he thinks Brexit fed off a desire to make the UK an off-shore tax haven...That was just how I saw it though I couldn't articulate it at the time.

[@peterhull8020]

I feel like I just need to read all his books now lol

[@2hopskipjump2]

Watch the Danish crime drama Follow the Money ("Bedrag" in Danish). Excellent examination of what Saviano is talking about in terms of the system.

[@rawbluecheese]

I wonder if this was on uk channel called Walter?

[@OTOWN2STOCKTOWN]

Grazie per suo lavoro grande persona grande giornalista grande uomo moderno italiano! Non puo cedere mai...

[@yaseen5121]

He's a great journalist

[@Robert-tx5md]

Make this man italian president and the world is saved again

[@jfrtbikgkdhjbeep9974]

i noticed the mis translations .... interesting

[@jamesboss5405]

Which ones?

[@VileCAESARB]

Yes, which ones please?

[@OTOWN2STOCKTOWN]

Would be interesting to hear which ones indeed..

[@lewweb451]

The city of London. Once you learn about it, you will never look at the world the same again.

[@Alexis1003-w6d]

That’s because they themselves are Mafia leaders.

[@michaelpolo6117]

WoW...

[@Canadavventure]

Saviano🔝🔝🔝

[@EricPollarrd]

If he's so wanted by the Camorra then why were they allowed to film on location at the sails, series after aeries? Surely the entire film crew would have been terrorised...

[@picassoboy52]

They prob liked the damn show....

[@AT-rr2xw]

They probably get cameo roles like in the movie. Vincenzo Sacchettino, who played that kid in the first season, would be arrested in 2014 over alleged participation in a gang stabbing.

[@brooks274]

I don't think he's on set.

[@federicobattistetti3108]

He gave his location for the interest just at the last second, do you think is fake?! This man got balls of steel, his life got completely shattered the moment he decided to speak the truth

[@riccardomallardo7779]

He has never been on set

[@voguehaven5154]

lol...great way to promote your book.

[@MrAgbxl]

What? By giving up a normal life to expose criminality? TF he has the balls to do it

[@dregsta]

Read it, its worth it
