Disturbing set of connections in this Weekend’s Sunday Post (Ireland)
The world’s most dangerous drug cartel has been trafficking huge shipments of cocaine into Dublin Port under the direction of Kerry men, secret police files have revealed.
Confidential intelligence files from Spanish police obtained exclusively by the Sunday World show the inner workings of the European branch of the Sinaloa cartel during the pandemic.
