Episode 352 - The Melbourne Gangland Wars 1 - The Kane Brothers Pt 2

Weird Crap in Australia

The Melbourne gangland war was a brutal chapter in Australia’s criminal history, and the Kane brothers—Brian and Leslie—were right at its core. Known for their violent reputations and deep ties to organised crime, the Kane brothers became infamous figures in Melbourne’s underworld. Their brutal feuds, particularly with the Moran family and other crime syndicates, escalated into bloody street wars, leading to assassinations, betrayals, and an era of chaos that gripped the city.

Join Holly & Matthew as they explore the dark world of the Kane brothers and their role in Melbourne’s gangland war.
