Read it:

In October 2015 French customs found over seven tonnes of cannabis below the Paris apartment of a trafficker who was the informant of the head of France's anti-drug police; a decade later a court convicted that official of complicity. From there the book follows the French underworld and the state beside it: the judge Marseille's heroin trade killed, Corsica's gangs, a carbon-credit fraud that drained the treasury, drug cash swapped for Swiss tax-evasion money, dictators' mansions in Paris, encrypted phones the gendarmerie read, and the 2025 law that followed a prison-van ambush. Covers François Thierry and the OCRTIS, Sofiane Hambli, Arnaud Mimran and the carbon-quota fraud, Jacques Santoni and the Petit Bar, the DZ Mafia, Mohamed Amra, the El Maleh network, Teodorin Obiang, and EncroChat and the gendarmerie.
