227: Part 2: Mike Chavarria – The war on drugs isn’t fought in headlines, it’s fought in the shadows

In this powerful continuation of Game of Crimes, Murph sits back down with Mike Chavarria, a true American patriot who dedicated more than 31 years to the DEA after serving in the U.S. Navy and NCIS. Mike’s career placed him at the heart of the global fight against drug trafficking, where intelligence, courage, and trust meant the difference between life and death. Mike takes listeners deep inside Operation Band of Brothers, a multi-agency, multi-national investigation that showcases both the complexity and necessity of cooperation between U.S. and international law enforcement partners.

Mike also discusses his book, “Junior: A Son of the Gulf Cartel,” offering deeper insight into the human stories behind the drug trade and the men and women who fight it every day.
