## Resource

An Irishman has been arrested as part of an investigation into a bizarre assassination plot foiled by an undercover cop who infiltrated a major “violence-as-a-service” network. The 33-year-old from Limerick is in custody in Cyprus, as details emerge of an extraordinary Nordic network using disposable young hitmen. Nicola talks with Eamon Dillon about the story. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
