oin us for an exclusive, in-depth interview with Pino Arlacchi, former UN Under-Secretary-General and global expert on organized crime and drug policy. In this powerful conversation, Arlacchi pulls no punches: Venezuela & Trump’s Policy: “I’m shocked by this behavior” – a blatant violation of sovereignty and international law. It’s not about drugs; it’s about oil, regime change, and geopolitics. Drug Routes & Europe: Analyzing a live map, Arlacchi confirms the reliability of current trafficking patterns and discusses Europe’s role in the global drug trade. Money Laundering & the “Holder Doctrine”: Calls claims of systemic collapse a “blatant exaggeration.” Yes, drug money flows through banks — but it won’t bring down the financial system. The real culprit behind America’s opioid crisis, including fentanyl? Big Pharma and U.S. policy failures. Legalization? No Thanks: “I’m not a prohibitionist,” but legalization won’t solve the problem — it may even make it worse. Afghanistan & Real Solutions: Arlacchi shares his firsthand experience leading UN efforts in Afghanistan, emphasizing economic development and major infrastructure projects as the true path to eliminating drug production. The Bigger Picture: “We have the tools; we can eliminate the drug trade.” But the real global threat? Unregulated financial capital — and why China’s model offers a stark contrast. Arlacchi ends with a bold invitation: a follow-up interview on global finance and power. We’ve accepted.
