Faces of Assassination

About Faces of Assassination

Organized crime is indiscriminate in who it targets. Not only are conflicts between, and within, criminal groups often settle with violence, but the same violence regularly claims the lives of innocent people. There are also a very large number of those who are deliberately targeted for murder because they choose to take a stand against organized crime. This podcast tells their stories.
