We hear from the former head of an organisation that trafficked and sold drugs and cigarettes to the tune of millions of dollars in profit.

He was in criminal life for nearly thirty years, having been brought in at the age of 11. He reveals how he made and sold ecstasy to all sorts of customers before getting into the illegal cigarettes business, which saw him taking in hundreds of thousands of pounds of cash every day.

Informer is a series where we hear the anonymised confessions and insights of people on the inside of different industries, institutions and events.
