In the 1990’s John Gilligan was the most successful drug trafficker in the British Isles. Growing up in poverty in Ireland, he found comfort in a life of petty crime that would intensify beyond all his expectations. Gilligan’s crimes escalated from bank robberies to cannabis importation and gave him a life of privilege and connections with criminals all over the globe.
This explosive documentary mini-series, is the product of over forty hours of exclusive one-off interviews with Gilligan, in which he documents his life of crime. Over three gripping hours John Gilligan tells of his background as an armed bank robber, his deep involvement in international money laundering, and how he miraculously survived an assassination attempt. He also speaks frankly about the assassination of Journalist Veronica Guerin, a crime for which he was charged but never convicted.
Confessions of a Crime Boss reveals the rampant gangland crime of late twentieth century Ireland, and the power and influence held by the gangs who controlled the drugs trade during this turbulent time. Most of all it focuses on one man who, at the center of these criminal escapades, would become Ireland’s most notorious Crime Boss.
