Episode How torture videos are escalating drug debt intimidation in Ireland
Incidents of violent drug-debt intimidation are rising in Ireland – and the methods are becoming more concerning and elaborate.
Brutal enforcers are now using 'disappearing' video technology on social media platforms to capture and distribute graphic footage of torture.
The targeted aggression goes beyond those allegedly in arrears, with innocent friends and family members increasingly caught up in the cruel crossfire.

And what about the incidents we're not hearing about?
Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Irish Independent Southern Correspondent Ralph Riegel to examine a terrifying new trend in Ireland's underworld.
