Rezensionen

'Emanuele Sclafani's excellent book shines a light on organised crime mobility abroad, modus operandi and socio-criminological implications of Italian and Russian organised crime groups in the UK real estate market. This pioneering research adopts an innovative cross-disciplinary analysis and offers unique, eye-opening insights into the infiltration of organised crime groups in this area. A must read for academics, practitioners and students from the fields of criminology, economic crime, political science, and law interested in a well-rounded perspective on this subject.'

'Timely and important, Emanuele Sclafani's monograph is both an investigation of the vulnerability of the real estate market to organized crime, and a fascinating comparative analysis of the motivations and capacities that different criminal subcultures exhibit when they engage with lawful institutions and professions. The book takes on additional importance in this moment of heightened international conflict, when attention is focused on the uncomfortable connections between western business and political leaders and their ostensible opponents in the criminal underworld and hostile foreign governments. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the role of organized crime in the nominally legitimate economy.'
