ZeroZeroZero, i.e. three zeros, denotes the purest, best quality cocaine. This special and extremely expensive "substance" is produced for the most demanding and wealthy drug users. This is also discussed in this book, but the author primarily follows the path of average quality cocaine produced in amazing quantities from jungle plantations through secret laboratories and distributors to consumers. Saviano wrote this story spanning continents and decades based on conversations with former drug dealers, secret informants, anti-drug agents, and investigative documents from various law enforcement agencies. In the book, shocking episodes collide, but in addition to recounting the bloody wars between drug cartels and murderous assassinations against journalists, police officers, agents and judges, Saviano also sheds light on how the drug trade is integrated into legal economic enterprises - and in some cases becomes of decisive importance - incredible amounts of money from The author dedicates a separate chapter to the Russian mafia, in which Szemjon Judkovics Mogiljevics, also known as Uncle Seva, who has been active in Hungary for quite some time, and who was ranked by Time magazine as one of the ten most dangerous criminals in the world, appears.
