It is a city ruled by drugs and weapons where money talks, and lives are worth nothing. Juarez, Mexico, is the murder capital of the world. On a good day there are just a handful of killings. On a bad day, there are as many as twenty.

The city is run by some of the world’s most powerful drug lords, and they will kill anyone who gets in their way.

In this exclusive report, Tim Noonan goes undercover for his most dangerous assignment yet, to investigate the masterminds behind this evil trade. And as he discovers they are already expanding their empire here in Australia.
