“Today, it is not the mafias who are looking for banks, but the banks who are looking for mafias”… These terrible words are not those of an agitated activist. On the contrary, they come from the mouth of a very calm senior international official.

Antonio Maria Costa, former head of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, had already stunned his world by asserting in 2009 that crime money had saved certain banks from the financial crisis. This terrible observation says a lot about the contamination of the economy by dirty money, that of crime and major international trafficking.
Mafias have never been so rich and powerful. They are the dark side of globalization, on which they have relied to accumulate unsuspected masses of money. The financialization of the economy is the second pillar of their development. It allowed large c!m!n€ll€s organizations to recycle these mountains of black money and make them major players in economic functioning.
In the safes of tax havens, as in the sphere of financial transactions, the money of the cr!m€ mixes with that of corruption and tax evasion. Contributing to the construction of a gigantic gray zone, with the complicity of a whole bunch of very "honorable" people: lawyers, bankers, auditing firms, experts of all kinds, elected officials from all sides...
This film is a journey into the realm of dirty money. From Calabria to London, from Switzerland to Germany, we set off on the trail of this money that we don't see and don't talk about. For more than ten years, all energies seem to be focused on the fight against terror!sm€. While another geopolitics is emerging, perhaps the great challenge of the 21st century. Because a question arises for us: is it not too late?... Has not dirty money become essential to the running of the world?
