351: Lou Calvarese and Melissa Fortunato – Undercover Wedding, Operation Royal Charm

from FBI Case File Review · host Jerri Williams

Retired agents Lou Calvarese and Melissa Fortunato review their undercover roles in Operation Royal Charm, an investigation that used an undercover wedding ruse to dismantle an international smuggling ring bringing into the U.S. illegal drugs, cigarettes, and counterfeit $100 bills, known as North Korean "super notes," and conspiring to smuggle in weapons from North Korea as well. Task force members immediately arrested guests arriving in chauffeured limousines to Lou and Melissa's wedding.
