Miami, September 17, 2024 — Diaz Reus International Law Firm (DRT) is pleased to announce the addition of Brian Smith to the firm’s Business Intelligence, Investigations, Compliance and White-Collar Group.
With 25 years law enforcement experience as a special agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration working in the Miami Field Division, Brian specialized in directing and executing investigations of transnational criminal enterprises involved in domestic and international drug trafficking, money laundering, public corruption, and complex drug smuggling schemes. He has worked collaboratively with international, federal, and local law enforcement agencies and prosecutors.
Brian is a United States Marine who served in the White House Military Office, as an infantry squad leader, and scout sniper.
Brian comments: “I feel privileged to join the DRT team. I hope my 25 years experience as a Special Agent with the DEA will be a positive addition to the firm.”
DRT’s Global Managing Partner, Michael Diaz, Jr., addeed: “Brian will be joining a talented and seasoned group of multi-disciplined former agents, law enforcement and intelligence officials that comprise DRT Investigations. We are excited and proud to have him join DRT. His experience will add a valuable component to DRT’s White Collar practice, as the U.S. Government is increasing its efforts to combat drug trafficking organization activity, and there has been a convergence of corruption, terrorism, and drug trafficking in Latin America lately, with government officials or their representatives engaging Diaz Reus to manage their criminal exposure and history with the U.S.A in efforts to avoid prosecution, sanctions, visa cancellations and assets being frozen.
