    Cocaine Kingpins

    How have the Albanian mafia managed to take on the Mexican and Colombian drug cartels in their own backyard? To find out, the Mail’s Stephen Wright spent close to a month in Ecuador on what he regards as the most dangerous assignment of his 30 year career in a country rife with corruption in the police, Navy, judiciary, legal system and the Government. Through an intermediary, Wright eventually persuaded an Ecuadorian gangster – a murderous sidekick of the leader of the Latin Kings mob in the country - to tell his story of how his cartel worked with Albanian narcos to flood Europe with cocaine.

    Hannibal The Cannibal

On this episode of On the Case, we’ll hear from Daily Mail reporters Graeme Culliford and Lettice Bromovsky who spoke to Maudsley and former prison psychologist Dr Bob Johnson.
