Robert Mazur spent five years undercover infiltrating the criminal
hierarchy of Colombia's drug cartels. The dirty bankers and
businessmen he befriended knew him as Bob Musella, a wealthy,
mob-connected big shot living the good life. Together they partied
in expensive hotels, drank the world's finest champagnes, drove
Rolls-Royce convertibles and flew in private jets. But under
Mazur's designer suits and hidden away in his quality briefcase,
recorders whirred quietly, capturing the damning evidence of their
crimes. Then, at his own staged wedding, he led a dramatic takedown
that shook the underworld. In the end, more than eighty men and
women were charged worldwide. Operation C-Chase became one of the
most successful undercover operations in the history of US law
enforcement, and evidence gathered during the bust proved critical
to the conviction of General Manuel Noriega. The Infiltrator is the
true story of how Mazur's undercover work helped bring down the
unscrupulous bankers who manipulated complex international finance
systems to serve drug lords - including Pablo Escobar and the
infamous Medillin cartel - corrupt politicians, tax cheats and
terrorists. It is a shocking chronicle of the rise and fall of
perhaps the biggest and most intricate money-laundering operation
of all time. And, at its heart, it's a vivid portrait of an
undercover life and the sacrifices it requires. Filled with
dangerous lies, near misses and harrowing escapes, The Infiltrator
is as bracing and explosive as the greatest fiction thrillers -
only it's all true.
'A thriller-like tale ... [Mazur] is a good story-teller, with a
flair for details that brings the criminal and their world to life'
Daily Mail 'Bob Mazur delivers again ... he artfully takes the
reader through the harrowing account of life as an undercover cop
embedded in the drug cartels' BRYAN CRANSTON 'A book you can't put
down, nor will you' JOSEPH PISTONE, aka Donnie Brasco From the
bestselling author who inspired Bryan Cranston's The Infiltrator.
Three years after undercover agent Robert Mazur infiltrated Pablo
Escobar's Medellin drug cartel, he re-emerged, a
half-million-dollar bounty still on his head, with a new identity
for a risky new sting. Deployed to Panama, he worked, travelled,
partied and washed millions with Central America's criminal elite.
Partnered with a DEA task force agent, Mazur slipped effortlessly
into Colombia's notorious Cali drug cartel. But as his underworld
reputation skyrocketed, the operation started going dangerously off
the rails. Robert Mazur's riveting true story exposes the
corruption at the heart of one of the most explosive undercover
missions of his career. Refusing to acknowledge the danger, Mazur
was obsessed with seeing the mission through to its treacherous
end: expose the Cali cartel, find out who betrayed him, and escape
with his life. This is his true story.
