The Calabrian mafia ‘Ndrangheta's primary source of money is cocaine. How do they traffic the drug from South America to Europe and Africa leaving virtually no trace?

The first chapter is an investigation into Nicola Assisi, one of the most important cocaine brokers of our time and surely one of the most precious brokers to the ‘Ndrangheta'.

An investigation involving nine countries and twelve journalists, by IRPI and CORRECT!V with the support of Journalismfund.eu's Flanders Connects Continents grant programme.

This project was funded through Journalismfund.eu's Flanders Connects Continents grant programme.
