The RISE and FALL of New Zealand's Criminal Empire | Mr Asia Syndicate

Описание: New Zealand's Criminal Empire | Mr Asia Syndicate
Criminal Underworld of New Zealand,
How did two Kiwis from the small island country of NZ rule the drug networks of the world ?
The Mr. Asia Syndicate was formed in the 1970's in New Zealand by Marty Johnstone , Terry Clark and 'Chinese' Jack Choo.
They began by importing Thai buddha sticks into New Zealand and then expanded their operation with importing and exporting heroin.
The syndicate brought in tens of millions of dollars annually at the height of their operation, spanned several countries worldwide and ultimately changed the way the law acted upon drugs in NZ.
