And as a consequence of this trade,

Britain alone lost eight billion dollars in revenue.

And instead that money went to underwrite the wars in Yugoslavia

and line the pockets of unscrupulous individuals.

Now Italian police, when this trade started,

had just two boats which could go at the same speed.

And this is very important, because the only way you can catch these guys

is if they run out of gas.

Sometimes the gangsters would bring with them

women being trafficked into prostitution,

and if the police intervened, they would hurl

the women into the sea

so that the police had to go and save them from drowning,

rather than chasing the bad guys.

So I have shown you this to demonstrate

how many boats, how many vessels it takes

to catch one of these guys.

And the answer is six vessels.

And remember, 20 of these speed boats

were coming across the Adriatic

every single night.
