Chinese mafia groups flex their muscles in Europe

Think organised crime in Italy, and chances are you think of the Cosa Nostra, Camorra or Ndrangheta. But the newest kids on the mafia block come from China — and they’re expanding their influence across Europe. Host Timothy Large interviews Italian journalist Davide Del Monte, who leads a cross-border investigation into the criminal activities of the main Chinese criminal group in Europe. It’s a tale of violence, political connections and dirty business. For more on this investigation supported by the Investigative Journalism for Europe (IJ4EU) fund, see Chinese Underworld.
