KYC360, the world’s leading financial crime knowledge platform, has secured exclusive worldwide rights to an explosive webinar with undercover agent Robert Mazur, the inspiration behind major Hollywood motion picture The Infiltrator. The film, which is released in the UK on 16 September, stars Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston and Diane Kruger, and tells the incredible true-life story of Mazur's infiltration of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar's Medellin drug cartel.

For years, in the eyes of organized crime leaders Bob Mazur was a highly successful mob-connected fixer who helped manage their illicit fortunes.  In fact, he was a secret agent.  Posing as hotshot money launderer "Bob Musella", Mazur repeatedly risked life and limb to gather evidence which was crucial to securing over 100 convictions in one of the largest money laundering prosecutions in history.

Having spent five years deep undercover as an agent for US, UK, French and other government law enforcement agencies, Mazur is the only man in the world in the world to have infiltrated the inner circle of global financial crime and lived to tell the tale. He’s seen how the system works from the inside, and the insights he holds are so valuable that the criminal world offered US$500,000 for his death. 

He has since earned global acclaim as one of the world’s leading experts on the financial techniques of the underworld. There is no one with more first-hand knowledge about how international black money markets launder nearly US$2 trillion in criminal proceeds annually.  In the forthcoming webinar, KYC360 subscribers will be able to listen to Bob Mazur tell his story, ask questions, and view previously unpublished photos taken during the undercover operation C-Chase.

KYC360 Technologies Group Chairman Stephen Platt commented: "KYC360 is designed to power the global fight against financial crime. Helping people in finance understand the real world consequences of what is often the unwitting facilitation of crime by the industry is crucial to meeting that challenge. There can be no better example of the harm done by organised crime than the activities of Pablo Escobar’s cartel, and I am delighted that Bob has agreed to share his experiences with our membership."

KYC360’s full length webinar will be broadcast live at 14:00 BST on 14 September exclusively to KYC360 subscribers and will be available to listen again at KYC360.com.
