Algeria, 1998 to 2026. The country lives on oil and gas, and the fortunes in this book were made where that money came back in: a private bank that took public deposits, 197 million euros an Italian contractor paid to an intermediary's Hong Kong company, a highway of the century, licenses to assemble cars. Then 701 kilograms of cocaine turned up in Brazilian beef at Oran, the police chief fell, the street rose, and two former prime ministers went to prison — while the oil scandal's central figures stayed abroad and the cocaine case went untried. Covers Rafik Khalifa and El Khalifa Bank, Chakib Khelil and Sonatrach, Farid Bedjaoui and Saipem, Ali Haddad and ETRHB, Kamel Chikhi and the Oran cocaine case, and Ahmed Ouyahia and Abdelmalek Sellal.
