MYW: Aberdeen’s Audacious £23m Affair

Listener Chris sends Iain to 1980s Aberdeen, where a simple game of bridge between two secret lovers sparks one of the boldest fraud plots in Scottish history. What follows is a wild £23 million scheme involving fake passports, forged identities, and an international chase stretching from Aberdeen to Abu Dhabi to the United States.

Meanwhile, Laura investigates the case of a sketchy seagull causing havoc in the shops!
