International Intelligence Inc., commonly known as Intertel, was a private security firm majority-owned by Resorts International. Resorts financed the establishment of Intertel in 1970, as an outgrowth of Crosby's efforts to keep the company's Bahamas casino free of organized crime influence. Intertel was responsible for security at Resorts properties, and offered its services to other hotels and large corporations. Its other high-profile work included providing security for Howard Hughes, investigating the Chicago Tylenol murders and the Bhopal disaster, and arranging safe passage to the Bahamas for the Shah of Iran and deposed Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza.
