Keeping a metroAtlantic eye on politics and politicians - and getting to the real story behind the spin and polish. Sunday, July 05, 2015. Just read an article referring to a book called Gomorrah. Written by one Roberto Saviano. In the article, Roberto claims that London is now the global money-laundering center for the world's drug trade. Hmm. The whole underground network took a breather in the Nineties. But re-awoke with a fury in the Noughts, when Bush declared his War on Terror, and determined t...
