action
In 1986, investigator Robert Mazur of the Florida Customs Department suggested that undercover investigations should be used to track the financial flows of drug-dealing organizations instead of the drugs themselves. In the role of businessman Bob Musella he succeeds in establishing contact with the financial officers of the Medellín cartel around Pablo Escobar . He can convince them that he can launder any amount of their dirty money from the drug deals. In addition to the cartel links, more and more bankers from reputable credit institutions are the focus of Mazur's investigations. During a staged wedding of Musella and his alleged fiancée, a colleague who also works undercover, numerous people involved in the drug business or money laundering are finally arrested. The end credits clarify the further fate of the protagonists and the outcome of some subsequent processes.
