Oltre un milione di controlli l'anno. 24 milioni di chilogrammi di prodotti fuorilegge sequestrati. Un giro d'affari di miliardi di euro. Sono le truffe alimentari, che periodicamente fanno capolino in tv sottoforma di agenti in divisa che mettono i sigilli su casse di formaggi avariati, prodotti ittici senza etichetta, partite di mozzarella alla diossina. Quello di cui nessuno parla però, è il sistema che consente ai truffatori e alle mafie di speculare utilizzando materie prime scadute se non addirittura vietate, mettendo a repentaglio la salute dei consumatori. È lo stesso sistema di norme e controlli europei e nazionali a permettere la vendita di cibo pericoloso per chi lo mangia. Un reticolo di burocrazia, negligenza, maglie normative allargate appositamente per permettere il profitto di multinazionali e consorzi agroalimentari, che arriva in alcuni casi a costruire vere e proprie truffe legalizzate. Questo libro indaga sugli angoli più bui dell'industria alimentare italiana, laddove l'inganno e il profitto sono sempre più difficili da scovare.

Dirty Money tells the story of Dotun Oloko, a whistleblower who tries to expose what he suspected was the involvement of the British government and European institutions in the laundering of millions of dollars of money stolen from Nigera by James Ibori, the corrupt former governor of one of the country's oil rich states. Suspecting colossal fraud and corruption, Oloko reports the facts to the UK Department for International development and the European Investment Bank - only to find his family placed under covert surveillance. In the end, Ibori will be sentenced by a London court for fraud and money laundering. But the Western institutions that Oloko alleged were complicit are still in business.
The past two decades have witnessed increasing opposition to mafia influence and activities in Italy. Community organizations such as Libera, founded in 1995, and Addiopizzo, originating in 2004, exemplify how Italian society has tried to come together to promote antimafia activities. The societal opposition to mafia influence continues to grow and the Internet has become a frontline in the battle between the two groups. The Italian Antimafia, New Media, and the Culture of Legality is the first book to examine the online battles between the mafia and its growing cohort of opponents. While the mafia's supporters have used Internet technologies to expand its power, profits, and violence, antimafia citizens employ the same technologies to recreate Italian civil society. The contributors to this volume are experts in diverse fields and offer interdisciplinary studies of antimafia activism and legality in online journalism, Twitter, YouTube, digital storytelling, blogs, music, and photography. These examinations enable readers to understand the grassroots Italian cultural revolution, which makes individuals responsible for promoting justice, freedom, and dignity.

This is a highly original, interdisciplinary study of the archaic Greek word nomos and its family of words. More recently used to mean simply 'law' or 'law-making', Thanos Zartaloudis draws out the richness of this fundamental term by exploring its many roots and uses over the centuries. The Birth of Nomos includes extracts from ancient sources, in both the original and English translation, including material from legal history, philosophy, philology, linguistics, ancient history, poetry, archaeology, ancient musicology and anthropology. Through a thorough analysis of these extracts, we gain a new and complete understanding of nomos and its foundational place in the Western legal tradition.
