Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

But, as this torrential narrative reveals, this mainland Mafia is everywhere. From the export of cadavers to selling weaponry as large as tanks, from the disposal of toxic waste to the construction of the "largest illegal urban complex in the West", it is ceaselessly active. In a book packed with murder and beatings, Saviano names names and points to the bodies. So how did he manage to write it and still be on the streets? He didn't. Under constant police protection, he was unable to visit the UK to promote this explosion of a book. Naples will never be the same
