Episode notes

The FT's investigation into North Korean oil smuggling was done in collaboration with the Royal United Services Institute. A gold trader from Hong Kong, a racing car driver from Macau and a gambling tycoon associated with the triads were uncovered by Christian Davies. The story confirms what many people have suspected but haven't necessarily been able to expose to the degree that we have this week. Go check out WTF episode 1408 with wrestlers from AEW.

Donald Trump has been indicted in what is the first criminal charges against a former US president in the country’s history, Ukraine’s deputy economy minister Oleksandr Gryban speaks to Marc Filippino about investing in Ukraine’s post-war economy, and the FT has published a video of its investigation into North Korean oil smuggling networks.
