ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In 2005, Lydia Cacho shook public opinion with the appearance of The Demons of Eden, a detailed investigation of the corruption network that protects the sexual abuse of minors in Cancun by famous businessmen and public officials. This book presents the chain reaction of child sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, sexual tourism with minors, the sex business of powerful men, police and political protection of pedophiles, pornography, money laundering, and the trafficking of influence. All of this, encompassed in a powerful and dangerous global web of organized crime. The book focuses on the famous case of Jean Succar Kuri, a Lebanese hotelier residing in North America, who commits child sexual abuse in Cancun and is protected as much by local authorities as by influential politicians, who even take part in the crime of the corruption of minors. Protected from the authorities in an NGO "safe house" in Cancun, the minors report the facts that, against all predictions, prove the crimes before the Attorney General. Thanks to their brave testimony, Succar Kuri is arrested in Arizona and is currently awaiting trial for federal crimes, based on the proof provided by his victims.
