Criminal Contagion: How Mafias, Gangsters and Scammers profit from a Pandemic, webinar 17/6

In their new book, ‘Criminal Contagion: How Mafias, Gangsters and Scammers profit from a Pandemic’, Tuesday Reitano and Mark Shaw outline how different criminal markets responded to Covid-19, and the long-term impact the pandemic could have on the global illicit economy.
