Working Title has secured the movie rights to Misha Glenny's epic crime book McMafia, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Released in 2008, the non-fiction McMafia: A Journey Through The Global Criminal Underworld chronicles the rise of organised crime in locations such as Mumbai, Johannesburg and Eastern Europe.

The activity, ranging from drug smuggling to human trafficking, is said to account for around one-fifth of the world's economy.

UK-based outfit Working Title will release thrillier State Of Play on April 22 and Robert Downey Jr/Jamie Foxx drama The Soloist later this year.
