? EARS TO THE GROUND-

Get an inside look at how the EncroChat hack went down: Catching the Kingpins is a six-part podcast hosted by Mobeen Azhar that delves into how British police cracked EncroChat in 2020, breaking into an encrypted network used by criminals to conduct operations. By listening in on operations for over two months, police were able to make the UK’s biggest organized crime bust and seize GBP 19 mn, make nearly 1k arrests and secure over 400 convictions.

Arms sales, dirty cops, and even murder: The episodes include interviews with police officers who worked the case, revealing how they uncovered a murder plot in Wales, drug trafficking deals amounting to three tonnes, and a corrupt police officer working with a London crime network.

If you’re a true crime fanatic, this one’s for you. Fans of Serial will be hooked, but squeamish listeners are in luck because it’s a lot less gruesome.

You can tune in on Apple Podcasts and BBC.
