True crime; Drugs trade & trafficking

In the vein of Netflix hit Narcos, and soon to be a film starring Bryan Cranston, this is the true story of US Drugs Enforcement Agent Robert Mazur's dramatic undercover mission into the Columbian drugs underworld to pull off one of the most celebrated stings in history.

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.
