This PC had many contacts in Mexico and it was he who encouraged GIANCANA to go there on the basis that certain privileges coukg be obtained for him there. PC introduced GIANCANA tofJORGE CASTILLO, a very ; influential Mexican attorney wit ontacts in the higher ue. levels of Mexican Government. PC advised that CASTILLO P made contact with LUIS ECHEVERRIA ALVAREZ, then the Minister of Government in 1966, and now President of Mexico. According to this information, CASTILLO was able to provide certain | considerations to “ECHEVERRIA which enabled GIANCANA to remain in Mexico from 1966*to 1974 even though he had been declared undesirable, a category which ordinarily precluded a person from remaining in Mexico. ,As the Legat, Mexico City, be will recall,’ many efforts were made to effect the expulsion ae of GIANCANA during this period, but it was not until 1974,_ ‘some four years after ECHEVERRIA was elected president, \ he, that he was expelled. (A (4) No / ' Not only from CG 7177-PC, who was somewhat involved, but from other sources, it is known that GIANCANA was involved in a CIA plot in the period 1959 into the early 1960s to effect the removal of FIDEL CASTRO in Cuba. Involved in this plot was JOHN ROSELLI, well documented from many sources including Chicago highly confidential sources as a GIANCANA lieutenant. ROSELLI, of course, was murdered earlier this year in Florida, some several months afteryhis bess, involved with him in this scheme, was murdered CG 6481-CTE; who was very close-to GIANCANA for decades and during the period upon his return from Mexico elaims that GIANCANA's murder was not a Chicago mob eontract, and that he believes the murder was accomplished by forces outside organized crime.(Ue) The other two sources mentioned above, however, advised that GIANCANA was having a conflict with the current Chicago organized crime leaders, namely TONY ACCARDO, GUS ALEX and JOE AIUPPA, over a highly lucrative source of income which GIANCANA set up while Chicago - "bess" in the 1950s and 1960s, and which he claimed . thereafter was his personal project and one not belonging to Chicago organized crime. CG 7177-PC furnished this information prior to his own gangland slaying in December, 1973, while CG 7016-CTE advised of it subsequent to the. . killing of GIANCANA and prior to his own natural sean (ly : sexeer Docld: 32290310 Page 3

No effort is made herein Uv , . \ However, it has come to the attention of the Chicago Office that there is available in Mexico a Goverment official who-is in position to know of the motives involved in allowing GIANCANA to stay in Mexico from 1966 to 1974 and why he was suddenly expelled in 1974. This official logically would have implemented the expulsion. He may well know specifically who it was who wanted GIANCANA expelled in 1974, whether representatives of organized crime or of forces outside organized crime. This information would be most helpful in evaluating the motives behind the killing of GIANCANA, and possibly be pertinent to the ROSKIL matter .(¥) (wa) to evaluate either. _. This official is FERNANDO GUTIERREZ BARRIOS, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Government and an ECHEVERRIA aide. As liaison contact of many years standing, there is reason to believe a discreet direct contact with him by Legat, Mexico City, or by | contacts of the Legat who have also had close, continuing liaison with him might elicit the desired information. As President ECHEVERRIA leaves office December 1, 1976, and GUTIERREZ BARRIOS may also be leaving government, this may be .a particularly propitious moment for an approach MO@ /\. The Bureau is, therefore, requested to have Legat, Mexico City to yy GUTTERREZ BARRIOS unless there are strong reasons not to.(% Ca | M) ce Docld: 32290310 Page ?F
