Episode 353 - The Melbourne Gangland Wars 2 - The Carlton Crew

  • Summary

  • During Melbourne’s infamous gangland wars, one criminal organisation loomed large—the Carlton Crew. Made up of powerful underworld figures, the group controlled illegal gambling, drug trafficking, and extortion throughout the city. Their influence and wealth made them targets, and as tensions escalated with rival factions, the streets of Melbourne became a battleground. Betrayals, assassinations, and police crackdowns followed, marking one of Australia's most violent crime sagas.

    Join Holly & Matthew as they explore the rise and fall of the Carlton Crew and their role in Melbourne’s gangland wars.
