> Zero information on how it all worked apart from the fact that they were recruited from Montenegro.

You obviously didn't have the attention span to make it to the 9-minute mark[1], where suspect MSC ships are called out by name, and the June 2019 Philly bust of MSC Gayane is explained in detail, method and all.

No, I watched the whole video. But there are no details on "how the Balkan drug cartel infiltrated global shipping", it just says that they did and mentions recruiting Montenegrin sailors, and an ex-boxer that coordinated it. The video is presented as an investigation, but it's just a rehashing of newspaper headlines from the past two years.

(They mention the port of Bar, but only to say where the sailors are coming from. In fact, there were quite a few substantial drug busts here, so it seems like some part of the drug route.)

Anyway, I expected way more from the video based on its title.

This was just the first part[1] of a bigger three-part series[2][3].
