proved in an authentic and

of ideological diversionism and the recruitment of agents and
counterrevolutionaries for the Central Intelligence Agency, tasks
in which he 
has availed himself of the very close collaboration of
his secretary, Miss CARMEN JIMENEZ GOMEZ((A)).
"Since February 1959, Counselor CALDEVILLA has undertaken the
job of recruiting members of the then Rebel Army, among them the
traitor ALDO VERA((A)), MARIO MARRERO((A)), and AGUSTIN PARRADA((A)).
The latter, once his activities were discovered, found it propitious
to flee 
the country to avoid prosecution.
"Along this same line, he also used the aforementioned Miss
CARMEN JIMENEZ GOMEZ, instructing her to infiltrate student
organizations for the purpose of creating diversionism in the
ideological order, and she established, for this purpose, intimate
relations with Mr. PEDRO LUIS BOITELL((A)), ex-President of the

arrested 
and sentenced to imprisonment on the Isle of Pines,
Miss JIMENEZ GOMEZ went there and carried out military and political
espionage 
activities. The data and information that she obtained
on that occasion were transmitted to Counselor JAIME CALDEVILLA,
and 
included microfilms.
"In February 1960 Counselor CALDEVILLA conceived a plan for
an attempt against the life of the then First Deputy Chairman of
the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Mr. ANASTAS MIKOYAN,,
a guest in Cuba, for which purpose he delivered arms to a group
of counterrevolutionarly elements. It was not executed, according
to what Counselor CALDEVILLA himself claims, because of the
cowardice of the assassins, He also sought refuge and protection in
the 
home of his collaborator JOSE LUIS RODRIGUEZ ((A)), for Mr. ISRAEL
ZAMORA PEREZ((A)), a fugitive from Cuban authorities for plotting
an attempt against the life of the Vice Prime Minister and Minister
of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces, Commander RAUL CASTRO RUZ,

as well as a plan to create an incident at the United States Naval
Base at Guantanamo. Later, Counselor CALDEVILLA arranged for the
mentioned ISRAEL ZAMORA PEREZ to take asylum in the Colombian
Embassy in Havana.
"In May 1962 he instructed his agents CARMEN JIMENEZ GARCIA
and ALFREDO SERRA ECHEVARRIA((A)), an accountant at the Embassy, as
well as other individuals, to infiltrate different organizations
and offices of the Cuban State. The former went to work in the
offices of the National College of Architects, where she established
contacts with numerous professionals to induce them to desert, as
well as to obtain data and information from the Congress of the
International Union of Architects, where she worked as a simultaneous
interpreter.
"The latter worked at the National Institute of Agrarian Reform
where, if a break in diplomatic relations between Spain and Cuba
occurred, he would be in charge of obtaining confidential information

for the counterrevolutionary organization, the Revolutionary
Student Directorate with which he maintained close relations
through BLANCA MARTINEZ DEL HOYO((A)), JORGE MEDINA BRINGUIER((A)),
and LUIS FERNANDEZ ROCHA ((A)). The first two were national coordinators
for civic resistance and strengthening of the Revolutionary Student
Directorate, and the latter, a CIA agent.
"It has also been proved that Counselor CALDEVILLA's wife,
at his suggestion, has maintained relations with relatives of
political prisoners and counterrevolutionaries, inciting them to
send letters of protest to foreign embassies and international
organizations.
"On the occasion of the arrest of counterrevolutionary GENARO

within the Spanish 
Embassy, and instruct him in organizing an
espionage 
network for the illicit procurement of military, economic

Cuba. He was

In like manner FOLGUEIRAS was instructed by the former

by the

Counselor CALDEVILLA attempted to obtain the names and activities
of the delegates, guests, and journalists attending, as well as
reports on its development and agreements.
"In February 1966, he gave refuge in his residency to counter-
revolutionary fugitive ALDO ABREU BACALLAO((A)), a convicted saboteur.
"The Cuban authorities have also learned through the statements
of several arrested persons, that Counselor JAIME CALDEVILLA uses the
pouches and enciphered Embassy cables to receive and transmit
instructions, reports, requests for information, and correspondence
related to illicit activities and is personally in charge of
deciphering messages in an office on the second floor of the chancery,
next to the office of his Secretary, and is also in charge of
reviewing and approving all of the material obtained in the country
by his numerous agents and contacts before sending it abroad.

from the Ministry of Communications who was in charge of the

He give direct orders to the latter.
