On Episode 45, we delve into the story of the Pizza Connection, one of the biggest drug trafficking rings to ever hit the US, but it would really touch almost every part of the globe, it would see Asian morphine processed into heroin in Italian labs, by French scientists, before being smuggled into the US, while Colombian cocaine was also brought in as part of the connection, and in the end, it would result in around 1,600 pounds of heroin being shipped into the US in just a 5 year period, netting around 2 billion dollars, while supplying nearly the entire Northeast US heroin market in the process. I hope everyone enjoys today's episode, and tunes back in next week for Episode 46
