Plot

His father was a high- ranking Mafia boss, but Ronald Fino chose a completely different path in life. He became one of the most important undercover operatives in FBI and CIA history. And now, at last, he has decided to talk. International Swedish filmmaker and photographer Thomas Salme and Mr. Fino - Mr Undercover - have already started work on the amazing tale he has to tell.This is the first-hand story of one of America's most fascinating and courageous undercover operatives: a documentary which also reveals an insider's take on international politics, espionage and arms smugg-ling by the American, Italian and Russian Mafias.At the age of 70, Mr. Fino is in great shape and, in Mr Undercover, he gives us the rare opportunity to uncover secrets regarding criminal activities all over the world which have remained hidden until now.

Ronald Fino isn't easily scared. He's not afraid to name names. For years, Fino has wanted to write about his experiences, but each time the FBI has managed to stop him doing so. Endless requests from major authors such as Tom Clancy had to be put on hold. As a friend of Hollywood great Robert De Niro, he has also been approached to participate in several movie projects based on his life. Wrong time or wrong place, none of them happened. Today, though, retired from service with the FBI, Mr Undercover is ready to tell his story on camera for the very first time.

Because of his unique position as the son of a Mafia boss, the young Fino grew up with a unique understanding of the ins and outs of organized crime, from street level all the way to the very top. He learned how the Mafia control members of Congress and local government officials, about their ties to presidents, big business and law enforce-ment agencies. But working undercover to bring mob members to justice and exposing political corruption wasn't enough for Fino. He also managed to infiltrate the Russian Mafia, made underground contact with Muslim terrorists, and exposed illegal arms smugglers, child porn producers, narcotics dealers, and international money launderers. It's all here. It's all true. And, as Ronald Fino says, "It's not going away anytime soon."
