Drug Enforcement Agent Robert Mazur spent five years as a deep undercover agent for US, UK, French and other government law enforcement, infiltrating Pablo Escobar’s Medellin drug cartel by pretending to be Robert Musella, a money laundering, mob-connected businessman from New York. He has earned global acclaim as one of the world’s leading experts on the financial escapades of the underworld. There is no one with more first-hand knowledge about how international black money markets launder nearly $2 trillion in criminal proceeds annually. The only undercover agent in the world to have infiltrated so deeply into the inner circle of financial crime, his experience is unique. He’s seen how the system works from the inside, and the insights he holds are so valuable that the criminal world offered $1/2 million for his death.
Mazur spoke at the 2021 Global Leaders in Law Members Forum where he inspired the GC audience with his strong sense of vision and purpose and shared how to outthink adversaries through planning and thought. Below, Molly Miller reviews Mazur’s latest book, ‘The Betrayal.’
