Project Brazen's Mitchell Prothero reveals Europe’s cocaine crisis through the stories of cartel thugs, cops, journalists, and victims caught in the middle.
What We Discuss with Mitchell Prothero:
Why European law enforcement is ill-prepared to deal with the influx of crime and violence associated with a cocaine trade that has grown to rival that of the US.
How European ports that have been historically instrumental in the development of international trade have become thriving modern hubs for drug trafficking.
What makes cocaine the "perfect" drug for illicit entrepreneurs who want to make a lot of money on their own terms?
Why loose cannon drug trafficker and murderer Ridouan Taghi makes fellow criminals as nervous as he makes journalists, agents of law enforcement, and European society.
What needs to change in order for the European cocaine trade to decelerate?
