Sports and Crime Briefing brings you bold investigations, exclusive interviews, and fascinating insights at the crossroads of sports and organized crime. We look at the big news items in soccer, basketball or tennis. But we also spend significant time on how criminal networks are taking advantage of less-mediatised events, from table tennis to fencing, from e-sports to surfing.
From match-fixing scandals to cartel money laundering, from human trafficking to mafia infiltrations of the sports we love. But we also tell uplifting stories of resilience and the heroes stepping up to take a stand.
Curated by Chris Dalby, this newsletter is brought to you by World of Crime.
