Read it:

Uruguay has Latin America's cleanest government, and for a century kept the money its neighbors hid from their own states. This book follows what it sheltered: a secrecy decree with prison for talkative bankers, a family bank's 2002 collapse, ruled fraudulent, tonnes of cocaine leaving the port, a passport issued to a trafficker jailed in Dubai, a president's bodyguard convicted of influence peddling, a cattle fund its auditor called a Ponzi scheme, and a grenade in the chief prosecutor's patio. Covers Sebastián Marset and what US prosecutors call the First Uruguayan Cartel, Rocco Morabito and the 'Ndrangheta, Gerardo González Valencia and Los Cuinis, Eugenio Figueredo and CONMEBOL, Juan Peirano Basso and the Banco de Montevideo, Alejandro Astesiano and the president's security detail, and Pablo Carrasco and Conexión Ganadera.
