BEHIND BARS, BEYOND EVIL: How the Kray Twins Ran London’s Underworld From Their Cells

Criminal Empire: Mafia Mysteries & Serial Killers - A podcast by Charlie Outback

Armed hitmen smuggled in birthday cakes. Corrupt guards delivered heroin in law books. While locked in Britain’s toughest prisons, Ronnie and Reggie Kray orchestrated 47 gangland murders, blackmailed MPs, and even planned a coup against the Prime Minister—using prison payphones and coded letters soaked in nicotine. This episode reveals MI5’s suppressed files showing how the twins recruited neo-Nazi gangs to control inmate armies, and why Scotland Yard’s top investigator took his own life after discovering their royal family connections. Features smuggled recordings of Reggie hissing: "Prison walls? We turned them into office walls."
