About this episode

Sanne de Boer discusses her experiences living in a mafia-influenced community in Italy and her book 'The New Mafia'.

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. When Sanne de Boer bought a rundown house in southern Italy, she thought she'd found a bargain in a beautiful village. Instead, she found herself living in a community where the influence of the 'Ndrangheta, one of the world's most powerful mafia organisations, touched every aspect of daily life. Sanne joins us to discuss her book The New Mafia and what she learned living in the shadow of Italy's most powerful criminal empire. You can purchase your copy of The New Mafia here.
