Daily Beast journalist Michael Moynihan recently accused Italian journalist Roberto Saviano of plagiarizing lesser-known journalists for his latest book, Zero Zero Zero. The book, which Saviano is now calling a “nonfiction novel,” is an expose of international drug trafficking. But, asserts Moynihan, the book contains outright plagiarism, reporting “plundered” from other sources, and invented interviews.
Saviano dismissed the charges in interviews with The Daily Beast and elsewhere.
