# DIS ICHTO: Chief, AFFOO: COS, brussoleCS, EuichFROM: Chief of Station, Leopoldrill.SUBJECT: Major Peter DE GROEVECLASSIFICATION: SECRETCONTROL STATION AND NO: AGLA - 545HEADQUARTERS FILE NO: ACL4-8442 Apr 62DATE: 2 April 1962RE 05-3 - (CHECK ONE)X: MARKED FOR INDEXINGREFERENCE:1.  The recent purchase of three DC-3's and a DC-4 by the Congolese government is having continuing repercussions. This deal has been reported in detail through both *TAELINE* and *ODUMIT* channels including the accusations of substantial graft which accompanied it. The most recent developments, however, have not yet, to the Station's knowledge, been reported by either of the above channel.2.  *STAHL* reported to *HESTON* in a meeting 28 February that *WIROGUE* is back with the Congolese Air Force. *STAHL* described him as an Austrian with a belgian passport, formerly with the German commandos, who knows nothing about aviation. *STAHL* continued to say:Major Peter DE GROEVE (Advisor to Congolese Air Force ca. February 61 - March 62. Belgian. Involved in purchase three DC-3 planes from Iran Airways at price $125,000 per aircraft. Competent authorities stated comparable aircraft could be purchased $50,000 to $60,000 and predicted trouble from purchases.)left the Congo with 14,000 pounds which, supposedly, was his share of some $140,000 reputedly made on the above airplane purchases. According to *STAHL*, DE GROEVE bribed someone at the *Surete* who then let him cross safely to Brazzaville.3.  On 30 March *WIROGUE* informed *SALVACK* that the GOC had put him in charge of investigating the above airplane purchases. His first real task is to arrest DE GROEVE and bring him back to the Congo. Congo (Brazza), however, refuses to cooperate and told *WIROGUE* when he queried them that DE GROEVE had requested political refuge. Besides, *WIROGUE* felt, the Brazza side of the river would be very healtant to return a white man to the tender mercies of the Congolese in Leopoldville. DE GROEVE is supposedly in Pointe Noire waiting for a French ship to take him to Marseilles, a voyage of some 20 days. *WIROGUE* is currently toying with various ideas for possibly kidnapping DE GROEVE in Pointe Noire.4.  Both *WIROGUE* and *STAHL* said DE GROEVE is wanted for rape in Belgium. *WIROGUE* said he had also stolen some money there, though *STAHL's* version was that DE GROEVE had debts amounting to 400,000 Belgian francs. In either case, it is doubtful that DE GROEVE will return to belgium.Lester E. SALVACK2 April 1962Distribution:Original and 1 - Chief, AF1 - COS, Brussels1 - CCS, Munich
