Confessions of a human trafficker
How do human traffickers operate? Who are they and how are they organised? What routes do they choose and why? How and how much do they get paid? How do they manage to stay out of reach of the police and justice? How do they build their networks?
This book features both the big boys and the small players. Their stories paint a disturbing picture of one of the largest criminal industries of our time. Afghan refugees are disguised as tourists, Chinese 'brokers' pull off money-sharing schemes, sleeping bags are filled with ice to bypass thermal scanners.
Walls, patrols and closing routes have little effect. The smugglers are almost impossible to stop. They operate in flexible networks and regroup rapidly after every change in circumstances. CONFESSIONS OF A HUMAN SMUGGLER is based on years of research and offers a glimpse behind the scenes of a global criminal industry.
