6: The Catch
Operation Extend tracks Brian Brendan Wright to Spain. But years after the original case, do they have enough to bring him to justice?
In Spain, a coded phone call from a public payphone alerts HMCE that Wright is no longer hiding successfully. Surveillance confirms his location on the Costa del Sol, and an international warrant leads to his arrest and extradition to the UK.
In Colombia and Venezuela, US customs pursue the cartel broker, the middleman linking Colombian suppliers to Brian Brendan Wright’s network.
Former insiders give evidence in the trial against The Milkman.
Brian Brendan Wright, The Milkman, has finished his rounds.
