How Drugs Cross the Mediterranean Sea | SLICE EXPERTS

A wide look at how the drug trade works in the Mediterranean Sea. With opiates coming in from Latin America to the Italian ports of Bari and Gioa Tauro, the Far East via Turkey, Marijuana and Cocaine from Albania to Italy and from Morocco to Spain, the world of the drug trade is changing fast. The episode is structured in four chapters: • Where from and where to? • Places of Entry • Local distribution in Italy and Spain (the Mafias, including the British Mafia in Ibiza) • Police counter measures   Filming in Turkey and Albania, with the aid of local police (under the umbrella of Italian police operations), Naples, Palermo, Costa Brava and Ibiza. Interviews with local protagonists of the trade – witnesses and police – in edgy situations and contrasting the beauty of the coastlines where the smuggling happens with the dark night life (infra-red cameras, CCTV images, police car interiors) of the “lost cities”.
