​The 1990s Eastern Bloc Mob That Terrorized Europe

After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Iron Curtain, Poland was thrust into raw, unregulated capitalism. Out of this economic transition emerged a ruthless criminal underworld that took over the country throughout the 1990s. This documentary traces the full history of the Polish mafia wars: from early smuggling rings and post-communist anarchy, to the violent power struggles between rival syndicates, culminating in the infamous 1999 Gama restaurant execution and the massive state crackdown that finally dismantled the mob. Archival footage, historical police records, and criminal case files.
