San Francisco, una mattina qualsiasi, un incontro casuale: un ragazzo con uno sguardo sfuggente sussurra “Blue?” e mostra un blister di pillole azzurre. In apparenza innocue, in realtà potenzialmente letali. Da qui si snoda un’indagine serrata nel cuore del narcotraffico globale. Biagio Simonetta ci porta in Messico, tra i laboratori clandestini dei cartelli di Sinaloa e Jalisco Nueva Generación, dove il fentanyl viene prodotto in condizioni rudimentali ma con una precisione chimica spaventosa. Un viaggio che attraversa deserti, porti strategici, confini porosi e rotte commerciali con l’Asia, fino alle città americane devastate da un’epidemia silenziosa. Tra le voci dei giornalisti investigativi e degli esperti antidroga, l’episodio racconta la nuova economia criminale che ruota attorno a questa droga sintetica: economica da produrre, facile da trasportare, impossibile da controllare. Ma dietro ogni pillola c’è una catena invisibile che lega chimici cinesi, sicari messicani, corrieri improvvisati e famiglie distrutte. Un episodio potente, che svela il volto più oscuro del narcotraffico contemporaneo: niente più papaveri, niente fiction. Solo la realtà di una guerra che nessuno ha dichiarato, ma che miete vittime ogni giorno. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
