Episode 100: The Kinahan Cartel's partnership with Scotland's most-feared mobs
MP Russell Findlay says football is contaminated with drug money and that the tentacles of the Kinahan organisation run deep into the heart of the Glasgow underworld
Sunday World Investigations Editor, Nicola Tallant
He is the Scottish politician who says football is contaminated with drug money and that the tentacles of the Kinahan organisation run deep into the heart of the Glasgow underworld.
And Russell Findlay knows more than the regular politician about such issues, because for years he worked as an investigative crime reporter who himself became headline news when he was targeted in an acid attack at his home.
Nicola Tallant chats with Russell about the deep connections and blood bonds between the Irish and Scottish crime networks.
He reveals the killers and criminals who hid out for years in Kinahan safe houses on the Costa del Sol, about the fake-bake tan tycoon who became part of their inner circle and his fears that mobsters and gang bosses have their sights firmly set on football.
