lL .rt”::::r—CNR( (SR (RN CN MM 105-2855 On October 15, 1965, Miami informant MM T-1, a Cuban exile who is well acquainted with some members of the MIRR, reported that on October 14, 1965, BOSCH's right hand man, MARCELINO GARCIA JIMENEZ, was partici- pating in a discussion of BOSCH's news release concern- ing the "Satrustegui." MARCELINO GARCIA was upset be- cause BOSCH had claimed responsibility for the bombing, and he added that he, himself, had told BOSCH that BOSCH should not tell such a lie, as this explosion was either an accidental explosion or the work of some Cuban exiles in San Juan, and that BOSCH had no business making this false claim for his own benefit. On October 14, 1965, MM T-2, a member of the MIRR who has been well informed concerning activities of this organization for a period of several years, expressed the opinion that BOSCH falsely claimed credit for causing damage to the “Satrustegui" in order to get publicity for himself and the MIRR, and in order to facilitate fund- raising among sympathetic Cuban exiles, MM T-~2 said that on Monday, October 11, 1965, BOSCH received a letter from the San Juan delegate of the MIRR, and that this letter made no comment whatsoever- about the explosion. Subsequently, on October 29, 1965, MM T~2, after making further inquiry concerning the incident of the "Satrustegui," reported that none of the other members of the MIRR believed that the MIRR was responsible for the explosion, and they treated BOSCH's claim as a joke, Fur. thermore, according to MM T-2, BOSCH has no "frogmen" or commandoes, and he said that BOSCH's claims of having men constantly on the alert throughout the Caribbean to engage in sabotage and other acts, whenever and wherever the oppor- tunity exists, are completely false. MM T~2 said that BOSCH has only two action men, namely, DANIEL ORLANDO RAMIREZ HW 54027. Docld: 32307661 Page 13
MM 105-2855 DENIS, who lives at 25 W. 9th Street, Apartment 1, Hialeah, Florida, and GERVELIO GUTIERREZ CONCEPCION, algo known as "MIMO," who, lives at 3000 N. W. 19th Avenue, Miami. MM T-~2 said that so far as he knew, neither RAMIREZ nor GUTIERREZ left Miami on or about October 9, 1965, and that had either of these individ . uals been involved in this explosion, MM T.2 felt certain that he and the other members of the MIRR would have be~ come aware of the operation. MM T-2 expressed the opinion that both RAMIREZ and GUTIERREZ have the ability to manu- facture and place a bomb capable of Gamaging a ship. How- ever, the MIRR has no other men who possess the knowledge or qualifications to bomb a ship. MM T-2 said that the MIRR members in San Juan are few in number, and that most of them are middle-aged businessmen who have neither the qualifications nor the temperament to engage in such an activity. MM T-2 said that BOSCH is regarded by a number of the members of the MIRR as being a liar, dishonest, and of very questionable’ character, Other investigation conducted relative to the explosion of the "Satrustegui™ in the Miami area, as well as in San Juan, Puerto Rico, has failed to develop any tangible evidence whatsoever that BOSCH or any member of the MIRR was actually responsible for the explosion, HW 54027.
