Robert Mazur spent five years undercover infiltrating thecriminal hierarchy of Colombia's drug cartels. The dirty bankers andbusinessmen he befriended knew him as Bob Musella,a wealthy,mob-connected big shot livingthe good life. Together they partied in expensive hotels,drank the world's finest champagnes,drove Rolls-Royceconvertibles and flew in private jets. But under Mazur's designer suitsand hidden away in his quality briefcase,recorders whirred quietly,capturing thedamning evidence of their crimes. Then,at his own staged wedding,he led adramatic takedown that shook the underworld. In the end,more thaneighty men and women were charged worldwide. Operation C-Chase becameone of the most successful undercover operations in the history of USlaw enforcement,and evidence gathered during the bust proved criticalto the conviction of General Manuel Noriega.The Infiltrator is the true story of how Mazur's undercover work helped bring down theunscrupulous bankers who manipulated complex international financesystems to serve drug lords - including Pablo Escobar and the infamous Medillin cartel - corrupt politicians,tax cheats and terrorists. It is a shockingchronicle of the rise and fall of perhaps the biggest and most intricatemoney-laundering operation of all time. And,at its heart,it's a vivid portrait of an undercover life and the sacrifices itrequires.Filled with dangerous lies,near misses and harrowing escapes, The Infiltrator is as bracing and explosive as the greatest fictionthrillers - only it's all true.
