## Resource

A network of narco bosses known as the ‘EncroChat Eight’ were supplying some of the most powerful drug mobs stretching from Dublin to Donegal, proving there is no border when it comes to the business of drugs. The links between the powerful gangs show a supermarket supply chain of cannabis, cocaine, tablets and methamphetamine being bought and sold like any regular commodity. Nicola and Niall talk about the fascinating case which provides a window into a corporate world. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
