Dirty Gold

"Dirty Gold" uncovers the gripping true story behind the illegal gold trade in South America, focusing on the arrest of three Miami businessmen—Juan Granda, Samer Barrage, and Renato Rodriguez—who amassed an astonishing $3.6 billion in their illicit operations. This audiobook reveals how their activities are linked to a much larger network where illegal gold mining serves as a front for laundering drug money, creating a business that outstrips even cocaine trafficking in profitability and danger. Through investigative journalism from the Miami Herald team, listeners are taken deep into a criminal underworld that impacts the global market for gold and the everyday consumer.
