Perfect for you if...

  • You love real-world crime stories where the stakes are genuinely life-or-death and the protagonist could be exposed at any moment.
  • You're fascinated by how financial systems enable organised crime and want to understand the mechanics behind major criminal operations.
  • You enjoyed the film and want the full, unvarnished account straight from the man who lived it for years.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer sanitised, heroic narratives without moral ambiguity or the psychological toll of long-term deception.
  • You're looking for a fast-paced page-turner rather than a detailed, technical examination of banking and cartel structures.
  • You struggle with content involving heavy drug trafficking and the violence that accompanies international criminal enterprises.

About this book

Robert Mazur spent years undercover infiltrating the Medellín Cartel's criminal hierarchy, posing as Bob Musella, a wealthy, mob-connected money launderer. He befriended dirty bankers and businessmen—some of whom still hold power globally—while they partied in expensive hotel suites, drank fine champagne, drove Rolls-Royce convertibles, and flew in private jets. Hidden under his Armani suits and in his briefcase, recorders captured evidence of their crimes. The Infiltrator chronicles how Mazur helped bring down the bankers who used complex international finance systems to serve drug lords, corrupt politicians, tax cheats, and terrorists. It documents the rise and fall of one of the largest and most intricate money-laundering operations of its time, which moved hundreds of millions of dollars annually. The account includes dangerous deceptions, close calls, and narrow escapes.
