Terrace, Miamd, was interviewed on August 18, 1965, at which time he identified himself as being auditor of MIRR. REGO advised that he had become suspicious of the activities of BOSCH and some of the inner circle members _of the organization and believed that they had engaged in some dishonest practices relating to funds of the organization. He possessed no evidence of any extortion conspiracy but offered to attempt to obtain information which would be useful to this office, on a confidential basis. Thereafter he advised that Dr. JOSE LUIS ECHEVEITE, New York City,-might possess pertinent information. The interview of ECHEVEITE at New York City is included in this report. ‘REGO also advised that AIMEE MIRANDA, 218 Ss. We 16th Avenue, is extremely close to BOSCH on confidential matters, and he suspected that she might have made a typewriter available -to BOSCH or possessed information concerning extortion. On October 8, 1965, REGO advised that he had made further inquiry of some of his friends in the organization and had determined that’ AIMEE MIRANDA had purchased a typewriter from the Singer Sewing Machine Company. The resulting investigation is set forth in this report. On September 15, 1965, WILLIAM JOHNSON, "1130 N. E. 196th Terrace, a U. S. Customs informant and former associate of BOSCH, advised confidentially that. BOSCH had denied to JOHNSON that he was involved in any extortion.

He had no knowledge of BOSCH or anybody . else in the MIRR being implicated in extortion. On September 15, 1965, MIKE RAFFERTY, 400 N. E. 155th Terrace, Miami, who has previously been associated with BOSCH,.also advised confidentially -that he possessed no evidence that BOSCH or anyone. else in the MIRR had been involved in extortion. He also possessed no information relating to typewriters pertinent to this case. On September 24, 1965, LAREDO RODRIGUEZ, 1736 S. W. 14th Street, Miami, Treasurer.of the MIRR, advised confidentially that he has become dis-enchanted . with the leadership of BOSCH in the MIRR and suspects that BOSCH may have been engaging in some illegal a or unethical activities and, therefore, he is planning to get out of the organization. He said-that AIMEE MIRANDA, a member of MIRR, had purchased a typewriter about a year ago and that she could have made this typewriter available to BOSCH. He possessed no specimens taken from this typewriter. He claimed to possess no information indicating that BOSCH or other members of the MIRR had become involved in any extortion case. For the information of the Bureau, it is. strongly suspected by this office that the Singer typewriter purchased by MIRANDA is. the one which was ~ this case. It appears that she has conveniently claimed that she sold this typewriter to a man who is now dead and whose wife possesses no knowledge of his ever having acquired a typewriter. It is to be noted that a specimen taken at the Singer Sewing Machine-Company of the same | model, a Singer T-4, as purchased by Miss MIRANDA reflects that the typing is of the same type that appears in the first and third extortion letters. : C.¥ ; G42 9S4- Ff § COVER PAGE used in the first and/or third extortion letters in 1 gt | . . ~ ree ' . tye SAE 7 i ~ a, - . , , Docld: 32296232 Page 3
