Summary

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

Anthony Dowsley has been a crime reporter at Melbourne's Herald Sun since 2004. In that time, he's covered everything from homicides, solved and unsolved, law and order reforms and police corruption.

We're very honoured to have him in to discuss one of his speciality topics: gang related crime in Australia.

In this episode we will get a snapshot of who's who in Australian bikie gangs, how they're linked to organised crime in other countries, and the biggest police Trojan Horse operation yet.

You can listen to Anthony Dowsley's podcast "The Devil's Apprentice" wherever you get your podcasts.
