EP 01: FENTANYL CARTELS
North America's Shadow War
In this episode, we explore the economic, societal, and human costs of the deadly illicit fentanyl pipelines and the shadowy networks, expanding and fueling greater illicit economies across North American including at our borders and using infrastructure against us.
From the streets of San Francisco to the cartel fentanyl labs in Mexico and Canada; from the Chinese chemical companies to Canadian ports, we follow the chemical trail back to through illicit supply chains.
We uncover how illicit networks have created a dynamic ecosystem of criminality and corruption that are exploiting commercial, financial, and trade channels - including key sectors such as inter-modal transportation nodes of maritime shipping, highways, courier delivery services, banking, real estate, e-commerce and social media apps - to wage a new kind of war on North America that is not only killing citizens but helping to grow criminals' dirty money empires.
We talk to policy makers, law enforcement, victimized communities on today's illegal fentanyl trade in Canada as it finances other criminal activities and greedy profits are laundered in financial safe havens that converges with other criminal activities in Mexico and the United States.
Everything is connected.
