Overview

Bienvenido al paraíso vacacional

Bienvenido al paraíso del narco

Ya lo decía uno de los eslóganes turísticos más recordados: Spain is different. Para lo bueno y para lo malo, España es un destino privilegiado donde el sol brilla casi todos los días, con un litoral envidiable que suma miles de kilómetros de costa imposibles de vigilar y un flujo constante de turistas que bate cifras récord cada año y garantiza el anonimato perfecto. Es el paraíso soñado por millones de viajeros y también por miles de delincuentes que han encontrado en la península ibérica la mejor sucursal para desarrollar el negocio más lucrativo del mundo sin apenas consecuencias.

Tras la postal idílica de sol y playa se oculta un entramado de intereses inquietante y amenazador. El clan del Golfo. El Cártel de Los Balcanes. La Mocro Mafia. Los Kinahan. La mafia albanesa. El Tren de Aragua. El Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación. La'Ndrangheta. DZ Mafia. El Primeiro Comando da Capital. Son las diez organizaciones criminales más peligrosas del planeta y llevan años entre nosotros.

Víctor Méndez, director de Narcodiario y el único periodista que ha conseguido entrevistarse cara a cara con los grandes capos de la droga, explica en este libro cómo y por qué nuestro país se ha convertido en pieza clave dentro del tablero global del narco: un territorio en el que confluyen las principales rutas y ambiciones de los cárteles más violentos del mundo.

«Paraíso es el fruto de más de quince años investigando el crimen organizado con el teléfono operativo las veinticuatro horas del día. Incontables jornadas sobre el terreno en medio de algunas de las principales operaciones policiales desarrolladas en este siglo. Cientos de confidencias y entrevistas con todos los actores implicados, desde los mayores narcos de todos los tiempos -sí, esos que salen en la serie de Netflix- hasta las víctimas de la adicción que malviven en las calles españolas. También se compone de infinidad de conversaciones con los policías, con los fiscales y con los jueces. Con los abogados y con los intermediarios. Y, por supuesto, con algunos de los mejores periodistas del mundo. Todos ellos han jugado un papel en esta historia, y por eso están representados, de una u otra forma, en la narración. Considero que es la única forma posible de contar este fenómeno terrible desde una óptica objetiva».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Welcome to vacation paradise.

Welcome to narco paradise.

As one of the most memorable tourism slogans said: Spain is different. For better or worse, Spain is a privileged destination where the sun shines almost every day, with an enviable coastline that stretches for thousands of miles and is impossible to monitor, and a constant flow of tourists that breaks records every year and guarantees perfect anonymity. It is a paradise dreamed of by millions of travelers and also by thousands of criminals who have found in the Iberian Peninsula the best location to develop the most lucrative business in the world with hardly any consequences.

Behind the idyllic postcard image of sun and beaches lies a disturbing and threatening network of interests. The Gulf Clan. The Balkan Cartel. The Mocro Mafia. The Kinahans. The Albanian mafia. The Aragua Train. The Jalisco New Generation Cartel. La’Ndrangheta. DZ Mafia. Primeiro Comando da Capital. These are the ten most dangerous criminal organizations on the planet, and they have been among us for years.

Víctor Méndez, director of Narcodiario and the only journalist who has managed to interview the big drug lords face to face, explains in this book how and why our country has become a key player in the global drug trade: a territory where the main routes and ambitions of the world’s most violent cartels converge.

“Paradise is the result of more than fifteen years of investigating organized crime with the phone on call 24 hours a day. Countless days in the field in the midst of some of the major police operations carried out in this century. Hundreds of confidential conversations and interviews with all the players involved, from the biggest drug traffickers of all time—yes, the ones who appear in the Netflix series—to the victims of addiction who eke out a miserable existence on the streets of Spain. It also consists of countless conversations with police officers, prosecutors, and judges. With lawyers and intermediaries. And of course, with some of the best journalists in the world. All of them have played a role in this story, and that is why they are represented, in one way or another, in the narrative. I believe this is the only possible way to tell the story of this terrible phenomenon from an objective point of view.
