The Triple Frontier: Triads, Hezbollah and Narco Heavies

Description

https://www.righteousfelon.com/ Promo code: underworld25 When Paraguay extradited French-Corsican heroin kingpin Auguste Ricord to the US in 1972, some thought Paraguay’s narco trafficking days might be numbered. If anything they were just beginning. Within years the tiny nation had welcomed Hong Kong Triads and Lebanese militants — who, combined with considerable homegrown narco and cigarette trafficking, made Paraguay one of the world’s most lawless places, a hive of narco-contraband-terror madness. This nexus was focused not on the country’s sleepy capital city Asunción, but the so-called “Triple Frontier”, where Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil met. And thanks to a 2018 conspiracy involving a local trafficker, a money mule and an up-and-coming senator, we know it’s very much alive and kicking today. https://buymeacoffee.com/theunderworldpodcast SUBSCRIBE TO THE PATREON FOR BONUS EPISODES, SCRIPTS AND LIKE AND COMMENT!
