    The Mencho Files : The Rise and Fall of El Mencho

    The Mencho Files: Rise and Fall of Mencho is a deep investigative series that explores the rise of the Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación and the life of its elusive leader, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes. From the rural mountains of Michoacán to a global criminal empire spanning multiple continents, the series traces how one cartel reshaped the modern drug war. Through court records, investigative journalism, intelligence reports, and firsthand accounts, each episode reconstructs the power struggles, violent conflicts, and hidden networks that built CJNG — and the massive international manhunt that finally brought its leader down. This is the story of how a cartel rises, how it survives, and what happens when the kingpin falls.

    The European Super Cartel: Chapter 6 From Gang To Machine

    This podcast is a slow, forensic walk through how a loose criminal milieu hardened into a machine. Moving from Dublin hotel rooms and Dutch warehouses to British betting exchanges and the quiet routines of Spain, it traces how violence gave way to process, how loyalty was replaced by discipline, and how money, logistics, and patience became more important than fear. Told as a single continuous narrative rather than a series of scandals, it focuses on systems instead of myths—how routes were built, how mistakes were corrected, how people were tested, rotated, or removed, and how law enforcement eventually stopped chasing moments and started studying architecture. It’s not a story about chaos erupting, but about order settling in—and what it looks like when a criminal organization becomes stable enough to be understood, watched, and, eventually, challenged.

    Ryan Wedding : From Olympian to Most Wanted

    For years, Ryan Wedding operated in the shadows — a former Olympic snowboarder who built a transnational cocaine empire while avoiding public exposure, arrests, and accountability. In this final episode, everything changes. Federal indictments unmask the structure of the organization. A witness is murdered in Medellín, turning a drug case into a global manhunt. The FBI places Wedding on its Ten Most Wanted list, offering one of the largest rewards in modern narcotics history. The U.S. Treasury freezes the network’s assets, cutting off its financial oxygen. And then, without a raid or a chase, the fugitive makes an unexpected move. This episode traces how law enforcement closed the net — legally, financially, and diplomatically — and what remains unresolved as the case moves into court. It’s the end of the hunt… and the beginning of accountability.

  8. The European Super Cartel : The Calm Before the Mocro Storm

    The European Super Cartel : The Calm Before the Mocro Storm

    Chapter 5 explores the hidden power structure that controlled Amsterdam’s nightlife before the rise of the Mocro wars. It traces how native Dutch criminals, followed by Surinamese and Antillean groups, turned club doors, security teams, and drug access into the city’s most valuable currency. The chapter shows how violence existed but was restrained, how negotiations mattered more than gunfire, and how figures like Gwennete Martha rose by managing chaos rather than creating it. Set in the 1980s and 1990s, this is a portrait of an underworld that still believed in balance—just before cocaine scale, new generations, and a different kind of brutality shattered that order.
