Gratteri: Il futuro del narcotraffico è già qui
Rinascimento Culturale

How have mafias changed? Nicola Gratteri, Naples prosecutor, presents "Cartelli di sangue," the book he co-authored with Antonio Nicaso, and discusses today's drug trafficking: with a phone, you can access the dark web and order two thousand kilos of drugs without leaving your chair. The journey begins with coca leaves grown in Colombia, Bolivia, and Peru and arrives at European ports.
Major criminal organizations use artificial intelligence to study the safest shipping routes, and have hacked into Northern European port software to make a container appear inspected if no one had opened it. South American cartels want to be paid in Europe and in electronic currency, Bitcoin or Monero. Chinese mafias act as banks for Italian ones: with a five-euro note and a signature, two million euros arrive in Bogotá without the money ever moving. Gratteri also discusses 'Ndrangheta brokers like Roberto Pannunzi and the trap of ANOM, the app that traffickers believed to be secure and which led to 800 arrests.
We also discuss Ecuador, which has become a hub for drug trafficking, the port of Gioia Tauro, the demolitions of illegal homes in Naples and the Phlegraean Fields, and justice reforms, which Gratteri believes make investigations more difficult. Finally, the 'Ndrangheta has been present in Lombardy since the 1970s.
Interview with Alberto Albertini, artistic director of the Rinascimento Culturale Festival, recorded on August 28, 2026, at Hangar 68 in Brescia.
