Madagascar, 1990s to 2026: an island of more than thirty million people whose organized crime was mostly its own forests, gold and wildlife leaving the island, under officials who signed the permits or looked away. The book follows the rosewood rush after the 2009 coup and the guides jailed for opposing it, a presidential chief of staff convicted in a London bribery sting, five airliners registered in Madagascar and delivered to a sanctioned Iranian airline, gendarmes accused over missing cocaine, and the October 2025 night the businessman closest to the presidency landed in Mauritius, where he was later arrested. Covers Mamy Ravatomanga and the Sodiat group, Andry Rajoelina and his chief of staff Romy Andrianarisoa, Raoul Arizaka Rabekoto and the CNaPS fund, and Kong Hoo and the Singapore rosewood seizure.
