b"(9/16/20) On March 10, 2015, the tiny country of Andorra, located between France and Spain in the Pyrenees mountains, found itself at the center of one of the most convoluted and outrageous bank robberies in modern history. That was the day that Spanish, American and Andorran government officials shut down Banca Privada d'Andorra in an efforts to destroy the Catalonian Independence Movement.

Join us for a look at what really happened in Andorra in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI."
