THE BOOK: THE PREDATORS (AMONG US) MONEY, DRUGS, RAPES: THE BARBARIC DRIFT OF THE ITALIANS
A multimillionaire entrepreneur, with the touch of King Midas when it comes to bringing innovative digital startups to success, is arrested for crimes ranging from sexual violence to kidnapping, from injuries to drug dealing, carried out in a penthouse in the center of Milan or in a villa in Ibiza, the scene of wild parties attended by VIPs of the show, established professionals, assorted celebrities and very young models.
Under the pretext of a job interview, the owner of a pharmaceutical industry narcotizes a young acquaintance and abuses her; after the girl's complaint, others realize that they have suffered the same treatment.
A real estate agent pours benzodiazepines into the spritzes of a couple interested in buying a box, and takes advantage of the woman's semi-conscious state to subject her to perverse games, already experienced over the years on other victims.
Boys just over the age of majority use alcohol and tranquilizers to stun their friends on the premises and force them into group sexual acts.
Predators are among us, as evidenced by the episodes of crime that in recent months have occupied the front pages of the newspapers and that Gianluigi Nuzzi tells live in his new, disruptive reportage, full of shocking details obtained from unpublished judicial acts and exclusive interviews with the protagonists.
The brutal objectivity of the minutes of the investigations shows a world in which the unbridled use of drugs and medicines – from cocaine to ecstasy, from ketamine to benzodiazepines to the so-called "rape drug" – creates a parallel dimension populated by hallucinations, extreme sex becomes addiction and tragedy is lurking: the suicide of a girl who throws herself from the eighth floor saying "I do not want this life", the traumas that mark the life of a person and a family for years.
"These pages", writes Nuzzi, "serve to look into the face of a reality that happens continuously, ever closer, which infiltrates the normal everyday life of all of us, and with which we must learn to reckon with": if we want to defend ourselves and the people we love.
