THE INFILTRATOR: A Conversation with Robert Mazur

On February 9, I was a guest on the "Forletta Investigates" Apple Podcast, a show hosted by decorated former DEA Special Agent Larry Forletta. Larry posted our discussion, entitled "The Infiltrator: A Conversation with Robert Mazur", at the link below.

If you want to get a sense of what it's like to prepare for and carry out a long-term undercover mission as a money launderer, I didn't hold any punches and explained what it was like for me to travel that journey twice, once for 2 years as money launderer Robert Musella who worked his way inside the Medellin Drug Cartel and the Bank of Credit & Commerce International (BCCI), and a second time for 2 1/2 years as money launderer Robert Baldasare, who infiltrated the Cali Drug Cartel and money launderers based in Panama.

To all of those who follow me on social media, please keep fighting the good fight in the AML war. What you do every day makes a big difference in many lives.

CARTEL ECONOMICS

There is a serious money laundering threat in the making brewing within the Mexican government. I hope our government has the courage to call it out for what it is, nothing less than a national plan to launder billions in drug profits. Please read about it in my latest published article:

HONORED TO HAVE BEEN ASKED

I was recently contacted by active law enforcement officers to answer questions about an undercover operation in which I had the privilege of serving. That covert mission attempted to shine a light on the flow of illicit billions produced by Colombia's Medellin Cartel, as well as former members of the financial sector that purified those blood-stained fortunes. Most importantly to me, this interview gave me the opportunity to speak about the invaluable contribution made to this operation by several of my former colleagues. All of them are patriots who never forgot the importance of duty, honor, country. To them, I am forever grateful. To see more details about the operation and, most importantly, the Operation C-Chase Team, go to the link below and scroll down to "Legacy Interview Robert Mazur". Drop-down options are there to facts about what Robert Mueller III, the former director of the FBI and US Assistant Attorney General has said was "One of the largest money-laundering prosecutions in U.S. history."

SHARING THE TRUTH

Today, the Tampa Bay Times published my latest article about global corruption. It's a follow up to my last post. Please share it with your friends. This issue truly impacts everyone in our nation.

CORRUPTION IS THE UNDERWORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS COMMODITY

I'm very grateful that the Tampa Bay Times published a revised version of my article about Mexican corruption in yesterday's Sunday edition. Unfortunately, now that General Salvador Cienfuegos no longer faces the consequences of his corruption, Mexican politicians are attempting to further restrict cooperation between U.S. and Mexican law enforcement officials by proposing a bill that would require Mexican federal, state and local officials to obtain permission from a "high-level security panel" before talking with foreign agents, such as those working for DEA and the FBI. If this bill is passed, it will severely curtail the flow of information between Mexican and U.S. law enforcement officers. This bill will snuff out the light of justice that might otherwise shine on prior and future decades of corruption:
