"Former cocaine smuggler Pieter Tritton speaks to insider about his experience and how cocaine smuggling works. "Pieter began his journey as a small time drug dealer in the UK. He says that the illegal rave scene in the UK and lack of funding as a university student drove him to sell drugs on a larger scale. Pieter's operation eventually supplied many big time dealers in the UK. He then began importing cocaine from Ecuador to Europe through a cartel connection. Pieter was arrested in Ecuador and sentenced to 12 years in one of the worlds most violent and corrupt prisons. He now works as a public speaker on the dangers of drugs, and also presents a show on local radio station "incapable staircase" every Friday from 4-5:30 pm GMT.
