Is Dominic based on a real gangster? How did he die?

“Intruder” delves into the exploits of Robert Mazur, a US customs agent who disguises himself as fake businessman Bob Musella to infiltrate the seedy underbelly of the Medellin drug cartel and private international bank. This mission proved to be an ordeal that slowly unraveled the conspiracy at work and brought it to light. The deeper Mazur moves into social circles in crime syndicate, the more he delves into day-to-day international affairs drug ring. However, the protagonist is aided in his efforts by mob enforcer Dominic, who plays a key role in helping him through the process, even when it comes to giving valuable advice on the dos and don’ts of the underworld.

Dominic is based on a government informant and advisor during Operation C-Chase

Since The Infiltrator is based on the true events of Operation C-Chase, a mission to infiltrate and expose members of the Medellin drug cartel, several of the characters depicted in the film are based on their real-life counterparts. The character of Dominic is no exception to this statement, as he was a real mobster working alongside Robert Mazur. As in the film version of the story, Mazur met Dominic, whose real name is Alexander Biscuiti, in the courtroom where he was being tried for numerous crimes. Mazur used tape recordings of various phone calls made by Biscuit, which captured his true gruff nature behind his family-oriented exterior. An undercover federal agent later used this as leverage to gain Biscuit’s loyalty.

The enforcer worked as a debt collector, often going around mob targets to shake them down until they paid their dues. However, after Mazur worked his magic on Biscuit, he went over to the government’s side and became their key witness in freeing several people in the Meros case, as well as the captain of a New York crime family. Mazur later developed a working relationship with Biscuit, where he used the former law enforcement officer’s mob connections to his advantage to create his own false identity as Bob Musella. In addition to his professional experience, Mazur also expected Biscuitty to take on an undercover role himself, being Bob Musella’s cousin and part of his entire operation.

Biscuit’s involvement in Operation C-Chase in the 1980s is detailed in Mazur’s memoir of the same name, which also formed the basis of the film. These couples made a great team, and even though they came from completely different backgrounds, they worked well in the situation they were put into. However, Bisquity was also wise enough to know how Mazur could complete his image as a no-nonsense businessman in the criminal world. To do this, he suggested that the federal agent pay a lot of attention to his outfit. “You need to spend some money on clothes, especially shoes,” he said, according to Mazur. “The movers and shakers in the business have money coming out of their pockets, and spending $1,000 on a suit is a daily occurrence for them.”

Dominic, also known as Oleksandr Bisquiti, died in 2014

Although Alexander Biscuit and Robert Mazur had a relationship that could mostly be classified as professional during C-Chase, they also developed a mutual respect for each other over the years. Even after the end of the agent operation in 1988, they kept in touch and were also interested in each other’s affairs. He also never returned to his mobster career, choosing instead to live out his life as a government witness. Unfortunately, he died in July 2014 of cancer, a few years before the release of the film adaptation of his life.
