Sky Newsconducted an investigation into the sale of military grade weapons by Eastern European mafia gangs, who purportedly will supply to anyone with adequate funds. Ramsay and a team of Sky associates allegedly negotiated a rendezvous with a gang in a remote location near the Ukrainian border, a meeting which they captured on camera.
