This is the extraordinary story of how Charlie Wilson — renowned as one of the leaders of the Great Train Robbery gang — turned his back on so-called traditional crime to become the underworld’s original narco by masterminding a multi-billion dollar drugs network in partnership with the ultimate cocaine cowboy, Pablo Escobar.
Today, Wilson is credited with helping turn cocaine into the Western World’s number one recreational drug of choice. Narco Charlie will unravel the bullet riddled story of South Londoner Wilson’s cocaine empire and his forays into the deadliest killing fields of all: South America. Meticulously researched, Narco Charlie will feature interviews with many of Wilson’s friends, family members and enemies on both sides of the law enforcement divide, as well as associates of Pablo Escobar.
Narco Charlie examines in detail the final, tragic circumstances behind Wilson and Escobar’s bloody deaths and how their twisted ‘partnership’ proved that gangsters never rest in peace.
