Roadmap to Hell

From sex slaves to drug mules, The Daily Beast's Rome Bureau Chief uncovers a terrifying and intricate web of criminal activity right on Europe’s doorstep.

Caught between Camorra gunrunners selling to ISIS and Nigerian drug gangs along Italy’s picturesque coast, each year thousands of refugees and migrants are lured into their underworld, forced to become sex slaves, drug mules or weapon smugglers. In this powerful exposé, investigative journalist Barbie Latza Nadeau follows the weapons trail, meets the trafficked women trapped by black magic, the brave nuns who try to save them and the Italian police who turn a blind eye as the most urgent issues facing Europe play out in broad daylight.

De la sclavi sexuali la catari de droguri, seful Biroului de la Daily Beast de la Roma descopera o retea terifianta si complicata de activitati criminale chiar la pragul Europei. Prinsa intre pistolerii Camorra care vand ISIS si bandele de droguri nigeriene de-a lungul coastei pitoresti a Italiei, in fiecare an mii de refugiati si migranti sunt ademeniti in lumea interlopa, fortati sa devina sclavi sexuali, catari de droguri sau contrabandisti de arme.
