The Peru Two | Partners in Crime | 1

Wondery
About this episode

Michaella and Melissa are just two young women on holiday in Peru. Or that’s what they want you to think. In reality, they’ve been recruited to smuggle £1.5 million worth of cocaine into Europe. And they’re woefully unprepared. In this four-part series, Matt Forde and Alice Levine learn how a chance meeting with a bronzed stranger in Ibiza brought the girls together for a haphazard mission that would see them forever dubbed ‘The Peru Two’.
