Patrick Radden Keefe presents new book on corruption in Barcelona

Investigative journalist Patrick Radden Keefe is in Barcelona to present his new book, ‘The Oligarch’s Son’, which explores corruption and offshore wealth in London. The work follows an impostor caught in a web of lies and organized crime.

Reflecting on his career, Keefe discussed his transition from a struggling writer considering a legal career in Manhattan to a celebrated narrative journalist for The New Yorker. He noted that his breakthrough came after securing a financial cushion that allowed him to pursue an investigation into an illegal immigration empire linked to China.

Keefe also expressed concerns regarding the future of free press in the United States, citing fears over government surveillance and the potential for legal interventions against major publications like The New Yorker.
