S18 Ep88: Chasing Shadows: A True Story of Drugs, War, and International Crime w/Miles Johnson
True Crime Tuesday presents Chasing Shadows: A True Story of Drugs, War, and International Crime with Journalist/Author Miles Johnson
Jack Kelly, a veteran US Drug Enforcement Administration agent, tasked with following a trail of dirty money across continents from a top-secret investigative unit based in Virginia.
Salvatore Pititto is an ambitious Mafia capo working on a vast cocaine shipment who becomes unexpectedly pulled into an arms-smuggling conspiracy.
Mustafa Badreddine is a ghost-like master terrorist wanted by governments across the world who has been secretly dispatched to Syria for his final mission.
Each man, born in radically different circumstances in the 1960s, is in his own way grappling with the powerful and unstoppable forces that shape the world around us; forces which topple governments, send refugees fleeing across borders, and put guns in the hands of mercenaries and militias. Each has devoted his whole life to an institution-the DEA, the Mafia and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah-and each will eventually be destroyed or betrayed by the thing they believe in the most. On Today's show our guest, Miles Johnson, gives the details on these three men, their stories, and how they intersect and how they would change the face of how crime does business.
PLUS: an all new Dumb Crimes/Stupid Criminals with Beer City Bruiser!
