Episode 488: Mexico to Kerry - Inside the Irish wing of the Sinaloa Cartel
Listen now
Description
Secret files relating to the operations of a County Kerry wing of the notorious Sinaloa Cartel show how they shipped 6 tonnes of cocaine into Europe over the course of one year. Headed by former Kilorglan schoolboy Morris O’Shea Salazar, whose Mexican mother has family ties to Joachim El Chapo Guzman’s sons, the Sinaloa cell was uncovered by both the DEA and later during the Encrochat hack. Nicola talks with reporter Neill Feiririter whose special investigation into the Kerry Sinaloans was published this week. He talks about coke shipments, corrupted port workers and a slick drug machine run by a man who called Kerry his home. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
