The Financial Times’ award-winning podcast series Hot Money is back. In this series our reporter Miles Johnson investigates a mysterious murder in a small town that leads to a web of drugs, money laundering and state-sponsored assassinations stretching from Dublin to Dubai. At the centre is a cocaine super cartel that is revolutionising the global drugs market. This eight-part investigative podcast probes the links between criminals and legitimate businesses, and between governments and gangsters. You can listen to the other episodes at on.ft.com/3T6aKir

It’s become glaringly apparent that this series is just podcast version of McMafia, but in this case it’s Iran that’s on the back-foot of the smear campaign. BTW Why does the intro sound like Talk at GS intro 💀
