100kg di Eroina: l'operazione che sconvolse il Ticino nel 1987 | Edizione straordinaria | RSI

In 1987, Ticino was at the center of one of the largest anti-drug operations ever conducted in Switzerland: the seizure of 100 kilograms of heroin as part of an unprecedented international operation. An undercover investigation, supported by the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and carried out by the cantonal police, revealed the pioneering role of key figures such as Fausto Cattaneo and Dick Marty. This Special Edition features exclusive testimonies from former agents who lived through those moments, the "Lebanon Connection" scandal that led to the resignation of Federal Councilor Elisabeth Kopp, and the resounding flop of the Escobar case.
