Subscribe to Crime X+ today. Introducing True Crime Australia's new podcast, Bikies Inc. Stephen Drill's year-long investigation lifts the lid on how bikie gangs are controlling crime in Australia, and how they have changed in the last few years. The gangs have gone from hired muscle to billion dollar bikies, and the rivers of rotten cash have led to blood on Australia’s streets, as bikies fight for power. Bikies Inc follows the money - the billions of dollars that bikies are making out of cocaine and ice, and as Stephen starts looking into the gangs, their violence erupts across the country, with shootings at funerals and innocent bystanders dying at the hands of the violent gangs.
