Earl Norbert Garrett III is a CIA spook who in "retirement" started working for the alleged CIA front Kroll.

Education

He graduated from the University of Kansas in 1960. He took a mid-career degree in Public Administration from Princeton.

Career

He joined the CIA in 1962, and is known to have been stationed in Calcutta, India, Kuwait, Egypt, before becoming Chief of the East Asia Division in 1986. He speaks Tagalog, indicating a posting in The Philippines at some time.

He "retired" around 1991.

In 1995 he sat on a committee appointed by CIA director John Deutch to reform the Clandestine Service.

From June 1991 until 2018, Garrett was president of business investigations and intelligence for the alleged CIA front Kroll Inc..

In 1992, Russia hired Kroll to locate money -- an estimated $6 billion to $8 billion in 1991 alone -- believed to have been spirited out of the country by the directors of state enterprises when they realized that privatization was inevitable. The Russian Government wanted Kroll to get the money back. Fifteen Kroll operatives were on the Russian case, including Garrett. There were also rumors that a great deal of the former Soviet Union's gold was also missing.

Kroll helped un-freeze the funds of Sudanese/Saudi citizen Salah Idris, the owner of the El Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Khartoum which the US bombed in August 1998. Of another case, Garrett said "You think you’ve really teed up the information for litigation, and a client doesn't want to do anything. You’ve got the goods on a cabinet minister or a Vice-President, and the government or the company or the family decides it doesn’t want the embarrassment. To illuminate the playing field—that's our job, not to press charges. We're not prosecutors."
