An Interview with Ex-offender Frank Portinari: a gun runner for terrorists
Manage episode 417957360 series 3572864
While it is well known that in order to operate terrorists need weapons, what is less well known and much less discussed is how they get them.
In this interview, Frank Portinari explains how he developed from being a football hooligan, to involvement in right wing extremism, to supplying guns to loyalist paramilitaries entering the world of terrorism and assassinations and eventually prison. It is a compelling tale which offers important insights for how we understand the route people take into terrorist activities and how we might think about curtailing it.
