Manage episode 508234280 series 3685443
In this gripping episode of our True Crime podcast, we delve into the untold true crime story of federal agent Alberico Crespo, who knelt at a Santería altar—was he seeking spiritual guidance or protecting a drug empire?
This shocking true crime case reveals how a decorated fraud investigator used his badge to shield the very crimes he swore to stop, including connections to drug trafficker Jorge Diaz.
Based on court records, FBI wiretaps, and sworn testimony from his 2023 trial, we explore the missed 2018 tip that could have prevented 240,000 pills from hitting the street, and uncover the tragic deaths of four elderly victims found in seized trafficking files.
Discover the details behind why Crespo received a sentence of 97 months—longer than the dealer he protected.
