Summary
Behind closed borders and strict secrecy, a hidden global network operates far beyond the reach of North Korea’s public image. In this episode, we investigate the alleged illicit activities linked to the state — from cyber operations and financial schemes to sanctions evasion and underground trade networks. How does one of the most isolated countries in the world maintain connections across continents? What methods are used to bypass international restrictions? Who are the key players behind these operations? And how do global powers attempt to track and stop them? We break down the intelligence, the strategies, and the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between United Nations regulators and one of the most secretive governments on Earth. Because in today’s interconnected world… even isolation has a network. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-infographics-show-podcast--6317257/support .
