LiSTNR's new Crime Insiders: Detectives episode out today features former Detective Craig Semple, speaking about former Newcastle Knights Superstar Danny Wicks – who was charged and convicted of drug trafficking. Craig offers a never before heard insight into how they caught Danny and offers stark warnings for sportspeople getting involved in drugs and how it can lead to organised crime.
- He speaks about how Danny was under covert surveillance, how he was and it how it threw his career and sport into disrepute.
- He gave insight into the culture of organised crime and sport in Australia.
- As well as arresting high profile sports stars, former NSW Detective Sergeant Craig Semple has tackled some of Australia's most vicious, and high profile outlaw motorcycle gangs.
