Foreign Correspondent on ABC and ABC iview S36E9 Narco Islands – From South America to the Solomon Islands, Foreign Correspondent reveals the new smuggling tactics being used by cartels to send eye-watering quantities of drugs across the Pacific.
Senior reporter Stephanie March and Solomon Islands reporter Chrisnrita Aumanu-Leong go hunting for “narco subs” and the men who cross the ocean in them. In Tonga, we reveal how the hard-line deportation policies of countries like Australia are exporting criminal gang know-how to this island nation.
In an exclusive jail-house interview, Stephanie March and ABC Tonga reporter Marian Kupu meet the man who has become synonymous with the country’s drug gang and deportee problem.
This is part two of a major investigation looking at the drug crisis in the islands of the Pacific – a crisis which is turning paradise into a pit stop on a drug smuggling superhighway and ensnaring our neighbours in a sinister web of transnational crime.
