About This Podcast

*Subtítulos en español en los videos. InSight Crime set out to the town of Segovia in search of Colombia’s blood gold – gold that makes us, the global consumers, complicit in conflict, crime, and corruption. But what we found was a trail that led not only to gangsters and warlords, but also to presidents and billionaire investors. Join us as we uncover the hidden story of Segovia’s descent from a company town to a mafia town and expose the savage capitalism that runs wild in the forgotten corners of the global economy.
