Summary

Pieter Tritton — better known as Posh Pete — is a former drug trafficker whose name has become synonymous with high-level organised crime in Britain.

This is not a celebration of crime. Instead, it’s a candid, unusually normal conversation with someone who lived an abnormal life. Tritton reflects on power, consequences, and what it actually feels like to exist inside a world most people only encounter through headlines.
