From Medellin to Cali: The Thrilling Tales of Robert Mazur’s Undercover Investigations into Drug Money Laundering

Robert Mazur, a seasoned government agent with a wealth of experience investigating drug money laundering, recounts his thrilling exploits in a captivating manner. Throughout his career, Mazur has worked undercover for multiple agencies, including the US Drug Enforcement Administration, the IRS’s intelligence division, and the Customs Service.

In Operation C-Chase, Mazur successfully infiltrated the infamous Medellin cartel by assuming the persona of a wealthy mafia-connected businessman named Robert Musella. Through this facade, he was able to establish connections with key figures such as Pablo Escobar’s lawyer Gonzalo Mora and his trafficker Roberto Alcaino. The Medellín cartel, at its peak power, supplied over 80% of all cocaine shipped to the US daily.

Moving on to Operation Promo, Mazur posed as an Italian-American businessman named Robert Baldassare to expose money laundering networks linked to the Cali cartel. This formidable cartel was led by individuals such as Gilberto Rodríguez Orehuela and Miguel Rodríguez Orehuela and is estimated to have produced 80% of the world’s cocaine supply.

Robert Mazur’s experiences were immortalized in his book “The Infiltrator,” which became a New York Times bestseller. This story was later adapted into a film in 2016 starring Bryan Cranston as Mazur. Today, Mazur continues to share his knowledge about money laundering, drug trafficking and corruption through his company KIC Solutions.
