Summary
Retired agent Eugene Casey reviews Operation Utah Powder, a Colombian drug money laundering investigation that resulted in numerous international convictions and for which he received a distinguished service medal from the Salt Lake City Police Department. After Eugene was transferred to the New York Office, he supervised the money laundering squad and, ironically, a case that had spun off from Operation Utah Powder, resulting in additional indictments and extraditions from Colombia.
