What links Balkan hitmen, the international drug mafia and Ukrainian law enforcement?
A group of hitmen crosses the Ukrainian border illegally. Two Ukrainian police officers help them move safely and unnoticed across the country.
A few weeks later, the hired killers stage a shootout in broad daylight in one of the capital’s upmarket residential complexes. Their victim was hit by at least five bullets, but survived and is plotting revenge. A brutal and bloody one.
This is not a gripping thriller, but reality, in which Ukraine serves as the scene for a showdown between Balkan drug cartels. And in this story, a clear police trail can be traced, leading right up to the top echelons of the police force.
We reveal what links Balkan hitmen, the international drug mafia and Ukrainian law enforcement officers in the investigative film “Four Hitmen, Three Cops and a Drug Baron” by journalists from Slidstvo.Info.
