Robert Mazur shares his experience as a government agent working on drug-money laundering cases. He went undercover for multiple agencies including the US Drug Enforcement Administration, the Internal Revenue Service intelligence division, and the Customs Service. During Operation C-Chase, Mazur successfully infiltrated the infamous Medellín cartel by assuming the identity of a wealthy, mob-connected businessman named Robert Musella. This allowed him to establish connections with key figures within the cartel such as Pablo Escobar’s lawyer Gonzalo Mora and trafficker Roberto Alcaino. The Medellín cartel was a major player in the cocaine trade, estimated to have supplied over 80% of the cocaine shipped to the US at its peak.
In Operation Promo, Mazur took on the identity of an Italian American businessman named Robert Baldasare to expose money-laundering networks associated with the Cali cartel. This cartel, led by figures like Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela, Miguel Rodríguez Orejuela, Pacho Herrera, and José Santacruz Londoño, controlled a significant portion of the global cocaine supply at one point.
Mazur’s story has been documented in his book “The Infiltrator,” which became a New York Times bestseller and was adapted into a film starring Bryan Cranston as Mazur. Today, he shares his insights on money laundering, drug trafficking, and corruption through his company, KYC Solutions.

In his latest memoir, “The Betrayal,” Mazur delves into his second undercover operation within the Cali cartel. To learn more about this gripping story, you can find the book on Amazon. Additionally, his first memoir, “The Infiltrator,” details his time investigating the Medellín cartel and is also available for purchase.
