Aprašymas
From two award-winning investigative journalists, the scintillating inside story of the most dangerous man you've never heard of, the criminal syndicate he built from scratch, and the elaborate, as-yet unsuccessful schemes to bring him to justice
Despite being labeled "the most dangerous man in the world" by the FBI, few people outside India have even heard of Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar. In The World's Most Dangerous Gangster, acclaimed authors Adrian Levy and Cathy Scott-Clark unearth the extraordinary life of the man who built a Mumbai street gang into an international smuggling empire.
Fleeing from India to Dubai in the 1980s, Dawood's capability caught the eye of the CIA, who engaged his crime syndicate D-Company to ship weapons to the mujahideen in Afghanistan, turning a blind eye to the heroin then brought back and spread round the world. No longer needed by the CIA after the Soviets' defeat, Dawood swiftly wore out his welcome in the UAE. Relocating to Pakistan, he then rendered himself invaluable as a financier of the deep state and has continued to transport drugs, weaponry, blood diamonds, and nuclear material from his walled compound in Karachi--derisively labeled "the White House"--ever since.
Branded a narco-terrorist and indicted for mass murder, since 2011 Dawood and D-Company have been the principal targets of American government agencies from the DEA to the CIA and FBI, along with agencies in India and the UK. As Scott-Clark and Levy reveal in their deeply researched narrative based on inside sources developed over decades of reporting, despite elaborate, sometimes shambolic, sting operations costing tens of millions of dollars, Dawood is still at large, one the world's last living Godfathers, currently overseeing a vast criminal enterprise worth $30 billion.
