Two personalities, two eras, and the same reality which has radically evolved: that of drug trafficking, and the threats that its billions in profits pose to European democracies.
To take the measure, the Senate heard Roberto Saviano and Émile Diaz this Monday.
The first is the Italian journalist who wrote the resounding “Gomorra” in 2006.
In 2014, he published “Extra pure, journey into the cocaine economy” (Gallimard), a copy of which was found in the hideout of Mexican trafficker “El Chapo”.
The second, known as “Milou”, is the last representative of the French Connection, and of this bygone era when traffickers still had “an ethics, a deontology”.
There are no more rules.
“Today, I am scared,” sighs Émile Diaz, 81 years old, 17 of whom have been in prison.
I don't have blood on my hands.
In any case, no innocent blood.
In our time, the old people educated us.
There had to be a good reason to kill.
But now, all these young people who want to be caliphs in place of the caliph are considered brave when they murder.
They are sick.
Apaches!
