*Synopsis | The Facebook Gangster (2021)*
For investigative reporter Nick McKenzie, this story is the result of a decade of work. It's the hunt for Australia's most wanted criminal, a rat-cunning, ruthless gangster who has made an eye-watering fortune importing massive quantities of drugs into Australia. Law enforcement authorities call the criminal network he helps to operate "The Aussie Cartel", but now, after years on the run outwitting the cops, his arrogance could be about to lead to his downfall. By linking top-secret intelligence with multiple online clues – including some of this man's remarkably careless Facebook and Instagram activity – McKenzie has discovered the location of the crook's secret hideout.
