About the Book

[ Authentic insights into the inner workings of a criminal organisation [ As gripping as any thriller [ A Mafioso breaches the code of silence of the "honourable society" Giorgio Basile, born in 1960, came as a small child with his parents from southern Italy to Mul¬heim in the Ruhr district of Germany. When his mother leaves his father for a man from their native village, Basile comes into contact with the Calabrian mafia. Following in his stepfather's footsteps he starts to build up a criminal network in Mulheim. In 1986 he is convicted for a fatal robbery and, after serving his sentence, he is deported to Italy. Basile's rise through the ranks in the secret organisations begins with his stepfather's murder. Thereafter his mafia career proceeds rapidly: He builds up an international drug trafficking ring, eliminating all his rivals with ruthless efficiency. In 1998 he is arrested again in Bavaria. The prosecution manages to persuade him to cooperate and act as a witness. Numerous mafia bosses are put behind bars as a result of his evidence. With unflinching candour he describes his life in the "honourable society" and settles his score with this organisation, exposing the reality behind the mafia myths. Andreas Ulrich has recorded Giorgio Basile's story and carried out extensive research of his own. His book gives a rare, extremely fascinating account of a criminal organisation from the inside. Press "Ulrich, one of the most knowledgeable German journalist on the subjects of criminality and terrorism, has used these materials to create a highly suspenseful book. It provides a view into a world that has always been lightly hued with romance, but whose reality is ... actually quitebanal." Schwbische Zeitung "This book is a superbly researched, impressively written biography of a murderer. At the same time it offers a look into the operation of possibly the world's oldest and most infamous criminal organisation." Schwbische Zeitung Author Andreas Ulrich was born in 1962. He spent nine years working as a police reporter in Hamburg before joining the SPIEGEL editorial staff in 1999. He covers crime and terrorism in the magazine's German section. He is part of the team of authors who wrote the international bestseller "9.11. The Story of a Terrorist Attack," which was published by DVA.
