A Canadian who authorities allege is one of the world’s biggest drug kingpins, has been arrested in the Netherlands.

Tse Chi Lop, also known as brother number three, was nabbed on an Interpol warrant at the request of Australian police, who allege he is the head of an international drug smuggling ring, which has earned him comparisons to the likes of Pablo Escobar and El Chapo.

National Post crime reporter Adrian Humphreys joins the show to discuss Tse Chi Lop’s alleged role in this massive drug network, what led to his capture, and his criminal past in Canada.
