Operation Neon Sky

Synopsis

In November 2004, British police began an international drug trafficking and money laundering 'sting', codenamed Operation Neon Sky.

Two undercover agents Elizabeth Robbins and Mathew Blake are sent to Istanbul to target drug kingpin Refet Ilahi, considered one of the most powerful traffickers of heroin in Europe and whose drugs empire is being used to fund powerful international terrorist groups. A month into the investigation, Blake's dead body is found in a lake, two miles from Istanbul, and Elizabeth Robbins is missing. During Turkish investigations into the cause of Blake's death, 72 hours of undercover spy footage is discovered. Permission has been granted by national crime organisations to release this footage.
