Mario Possamai on Bloodlines    

"Bloodlines: The Rise and Fall of the Mafia's Royal Family is an extraordinary achievement of investigative research, analysis and presentation. A gripping tale that crisscrosses Europe, Latin America, and the United States and Canada, Bloodlines underscores the complexity and sophistication of organized crime at its highest levels. It illustrates how the Caruana-Cuntrera family operates in the netherworld where the financial engineering that supports the global economy bumps up against the billions of dollars of criminal proceeds that need to be laundered. Above all, Bloodlines is a compelling narrative of how the members of this mafia syndicate have largely escaped law-enforcement initiatives on three continents and why Project Omerta' was such a spectacular success. Finally, the book is a testament to why organized crime remains one of the world's most pressing challenges in the 21st century."

Mario Possamai is the author of Money on the Run and international expert on the laundering of criminal proceeds.
