The drug ring, one of the largest New Zealand has ever seen, was led by Marty Johnstone, the original Mr Asia, and grew from marijuana imports to a massive heroin operation.
Johnstone was killed on the orders of drug lord Terry Clark, divers found his mutilated body in a flooded quarry in England.
David Lomas, investigative journalist, has followed the story since the late 70s.
