McMafia: A Journey Through the Global Criminal Underworld is the dark, riveting journey through the panoply of criminal organizations flourishing in an increasingly globalized world, reaching from the sex trade in Bulgaria and internet fraud in Nigeria to the ‘caviar mafia’ in Central Asia and marijuana markets in British Columbia.

Please join author Misha Glenny, BBC Balkans correspondent during the 1990s, in a discussion of his book and the global criminal underground’s illicit economy, which may account for some 20% of the world’s GDP.

Copies of the book will be available for sale at the event.
