Weekender: Spyware, Strava and Hawala Banking

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of Brazen Weekender! I'm Charlie, a producer at Project Brazen, and this is the newsletter where I share what the team has been watching, reading and listening to this week. Coming up, we've got exposés on an FBI investigation and the former Austrian chancellor's relationship to Israeli spyware, as well as a deep-dive into the Kinahans' murky operations, a documentary about cross-border smuggling on the Iran-Iraq border, and a great new pod from Coda Story. Let's get into it!

This is a post for subscribers to Whale Hunting, a weekly newsletter and podcast delving into the hidden worlds of wealth and power from the team at Project Brazen.
