French connection Part 1

from THE HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN MAFIA · host Fabio Fabiano

The French Connection was a global heroin trafficking network run by Corsican and Marseillaise clans between the 1940s and 1970s. Partnering with the American Mafia, they refined Turkish opium into 98% pure heroin in Marseille laboratories before smuggling it into the US via luxury cars, Canadian ports, and diplomatic channels. A key crackdown came in 1964, when US-French cooperation dismantled Joseph Césari's lab, seizing 115 kg of morphine base and setting off its eventual downfall.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-history-of-the-american-mafia--4722947/support.Dello stesso autore leggi POLVERE DI STELLE
