He is the author of\xa0Chasing Shadows: A True Story of Drugs, War and the Secret World of International Crime\xa0and the host of\xa0Hot Money: The New Narcos.\n\u201cI\u2019m really fascinated always by the ways in which people just have to do really boring parts of running a crime organization \u2026 I love the banalities of this stuff. We have a fictionalized version of crime groups and it\u2019s obviously glamorous, and they\u2019re really smart, but there\u2019s a lot of stuff that\u2019s bumbling incompetence as well or just quite unglamorous.\u201d\nShow notes:\n\n@MilesMJohnson\n\nJohnson\u2019s\xa0Financial Times\xa0archive\n\n06:00\xa0Johnson\u2019s\xa0Guardian\xa0archive\n\n\n07:00\xa0Paul Murphy\u2019s\xa0Financial Times\xa0archive\n\n\n9:00\xa0\u201cHow the Mafia Infiltrated Italy\u2019s Hospitals and Laundered the Profits Globally\u201d\xa0(Financial Times \u2022 July 2020)\n\n14:00\xa0\u201cThe Mystery of the Mogul, the Casino and the Heist that Rocked Mayfair\u201d\xa0(Financial Times \u2022 May 2022)\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
