A gang tunnels through the sewers of Nice to pull off one of France’s most audacious bank heists—complete with tinned ravioli, red wine and a welded-shut vault door. Charlie and guest Alastair from English Learning for Curious Minds (leonardoenglish.com) unpack how a seemingly ordinary wedding photographer became the mastermind behind “the Sewer Gang,” and why his daring courtroom escape turned him into a reluctant folk hero.
