Into the Lion's Den: An Abandoned Informant
Back in September 2022, A Louisiana woman working as a confidential informant was sent undercover into a drug sting and was raped twice, as a result of being left 'alone and unmonitored.'
Reporting on the story is Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter with the Associated Press, Jim Mustian, here to discuss the subject of confidential informants (CIs) and the opportunity for better safeguards. You can read the full story here.
Jim also shares with us his latest project, a podcast Smoke Screen: Betrayal on the Bayou which tells the story of a corrupt DEA agent in New Orleans who some call the "White Devil." Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts!
