HW 46019 MM 922517 ZERILLI, POLiZZI and GIORDANO have refused to be interviewed in ROSKIL, RICCA and LA PORTE are dead. It is desired, therefore, that continuots inves- tigation and interviews be conducted not only with appropriate informants, but with top hoodlums in an effort as previously expressed to keep pressure on the hoodlum element in organized crime to generate gossip among them in order to develop specife- ies relating to ROSELLI's homicide. With reference to the Cuban aspect of the case in. which it was inferred that ROSELLI was murdered by CASTRO agents in retaliation for his participation in assassination plots against CASTRO, knowledgeable Cuban sources have advised that the ROSELLI homicide was not carried out in a revolutionary manner characteristic of CASTRO agents which would have required that ROSELLI be shot down on the street and left there or blown up in an automobile; in either instance the assassins would have claimed credit for the "hit". Cuban sources also have stated that while not probable, it was possible that Cuban agents might have caused ROSELLI’s murder; therefore, investigation will continue to explore this aspect of ROSKIL. On 8/20/76, former MM 4205=PCI, a Cuban familiar with Cuban intelligence activities, advised that E. HOWARD HUNT could be a knowledgeable source during the pertinent period relating to the CASTRO assassination plot since HUNT was involved as a CIA agent engaged in anti-CASTRO activities during 1960-61. This source also suggested that former ambassador WILLIAM PAWLEY would be cognizant of many of the personalities and events during the pertinent period of the plots. This source identified GAETON FONZI as an investigator in Miami, Florida, for U.S. Senator SCHWETKER, This source was aware that FONZI was utilizing FRANK FLORINI, also known as FRANK STURGIS. He offered as additional sources of information ANTONIC DE VARONA, residing in New York City, and DE VARONA’s DoclId: 327317166 Page 2?
