How Australia created a criminal empire: Rohan Pike Pt. 2

About this episode

Rohan Pike discusses the consequences of Australia's tobacco wars and his experiences in law enforcement.

Australia's war on tobacco has backfired spectacularly, and the consequences have become deadly.  In this episode of I Catch Killers, former ABF and AFP detective Rohan Pike takes us deeper into the self-inflicted tobacco wars and its consequences - including the booming unregulated vape industry, with almost all vapes sold in Australia now illegal. Rohan also tells us about serving as an AFP officer in Islamabad in the aftermath of 9/11, his role in the high-profile Jihad Jack case, and leading Australia's first ever foreign bribery investigation.
