Antonio Salas

Antonio Salas (1972) is a Spanish journalist specialized in undercover journalism. Compared with Nellie Bly, Hunter S. Thompson, Günter Wallraff or Donal MacIntyre, he has been seen by Career News (England) or Craaked.com (USA) as the best undercover reporter of the story.

Office of the prosecutor in Madrid considered him a protected witness in a criminal case. After a year infiltrated in the skinhead movement, his testimony was vital to get the first court ruling against a neo-Nazi group in Europe: Hammerskin.His investigations on women trafficking organizations, led to the dismantling of various mafias -"white slavery"- in Spain, and, also it has led to political action when the Mexican government ordered the investigation of trafficking girls from Chiapas (Mexico). During his infiltration into international terrorism, for more than six years and around thirteen countries, he became the webmaster and confidant of Ilich Ramirez Sanchez (Carlos the Jackal) and got unique images of Arturo Cubillas, the current head of the ETA in Venezuela.

His infiltrations into Nazi groups, terrorists or organized crime have been made into films. His books, "Diary of a skin" (2003), "The year that traffics in women" (2004) and "The Palestinian" (2010), have been translated into different languages. His books are required reading in journalism schools, and have been the subject of several university theses in Italy, Spain, Colombia, Poland, etc..

Now he is about to publish "Operation Princess" (2013), his first novel, based on new investigations, the world of political financial and police corruption. His life is still in mortal danger, condemned by various terrorist organizations, such as the Tupamaros movement, neo-Nazi groups and organized crime.
