Justice Served: Veronica Guerin, Exposing a Heroin Empire Pt. 2

All the threats against Veronica Guerin reached a head one day in 1996, when the Irish investigative journalist was shot multiple times while stopped at a red light outside Dublin. For years, Guerin had exposed powerful Dublin drug gangs in the Sunday Independent, naming crime bosses and revealing how heroin was devastating communities across Ireland, despite escalating intimidation and violence. In today's second episode of Justice Served, Carter Roy examines the murder of Veronica Guerin, the urgent investigation that dismantled key figures in Ireland’s criminal underworld, and the sweeping anti organized crime laws that followed. Her assassination became a turning point in Irish history, reshaping the country’s fight against organized crime and cementing her legacy as a journalist who changed a nation.
