About this episode
Join journalists Lucinda Elliott and Gabriel Stargardter as they speak to host Christopher Walljasper about their journey to trace a surge in cocaine shipments from Uruguay. The small, affluent nation is desperate from help from the U.S., but the DEA has shuttered its offices in the capital, according to sources. And the European countries that receive the majority of the cocaine also have little law enforcement presence.
