SECRET 31. However, the aunt of CARRILLO's wife is employed in Madrid by either the USN or USAF and neither she nor CARRILLO's wife are pro-communist, neither is the mother-in-law who, although she lives’at the Embassy in Paris, is opposed to the regime. Carlos recommends that we talk to the mother-in-law if we have not done so already. 32. .Carlos does not remember the name of the aunt (by --marriage) in Madrid. However, he took a letter and some perfume from the CARRILLO family in Paris to the aunt in Madrid. He ; turned the letter over to an Agency officer for inspection prior ‘7 to a@elivering it and therefore assumes that the Agency knows < who the aunt is. (The case officer is a small fellow with white .. hair, not Earle.) . 33. CARRILLO-appears to enjoy the confidence of Fidel CASTRO and Celia SANCHEZ, both of whom have entrusted money to him for investment. The confidence probably is based on their €rust im his financial acumen rather than on their trust in his political beliefs. These do not appear tole strong. He goes along with the regime because it provides him with a comfortable way of life. 34. CARRILLO knows beth "El Loco”BLANCO and "El Mago" ROBRENO but is not a friend of either. Probably CARRILLO dislikes ROBRENO less than BLANCO. 6 H. amily oO : : S pointed out above, Rolando plans to use| inside Cuba Pee time for action against CASTRO arrives.

The mother of was in Madrid fairly recently on her way back to Cuba. At that time, according to "E] Loco” BLANCO, a Cuban working with the Americans named ROCHE tried to defect Marina by offering her money and _u h name of "EL Loco" as a means of introducing himself of] This incident was most embarrassing to "El Loco" becaus é Cuban Embassy in Madrid suspected that he might have had seme connection with the defection attempt. f
iy "eae + cm 4 | -10- i 1. CANTILLO 37. Carlos knows that there is a Cuban intelligence officer named CANTILLO who is assigned to the Embassy in Madrid. How- ever, Carlos does not know him personally and never has seen him. CANTILLO has been mentioned to Carlos by "El Mago” and "El Loco”. J. Business activities of TEPEDINO 38. TEPEDINO is selling over three million dollars worth of jewelry per year at the present time. He employs a group of jewelry aesigners in Paris and then mass produces jewelry, using their designs in New York City. This jewelry, while not of the game quality as tat of Paris originals, looks exactly like the current vogue in France and is selling extremely well. TEPEDINO is trying to secure jewelry contracts with the Hilton hotels in New York, Madrid and Puerto Rico. He also has a jewelry associate in Italy. His legitimate jewelry business is so good that he has no need to run the risk of engaging in illegal activities. This was the case even when he was in Havana but is even more so the case now, At no time has‘ he engaged in smuggling, for example, in either Italy or Spain. K. Travel Plans of TEPEDINO 39. TEPEDINO plans to travel to Miami about 8 or 9 July and expects to spend a week relaxing and fishing. From mid-July to the latter part of August, TEPEDINO expects to be in New York City and during,.this time would be happy to travel to Washington, D.C. if the Agency so desires. About the end of August, TEPEDINO plans to travel to Europe where he expects to remain for a month or month and a half. At this time, he expects to visit Rome, Milan, Paris and Madrid. L. Recommendations 40, It is recommended that arrangements be made to give an LCFLUTTER to TEPEDINO while he is in the Miami area. (Questions for inclusion in a FLUTTER examination are attached.) The advantages of giving the FLUTTER examination at Miami are several. One is that at Miami we do have a Spanish speaking operator. Although TEPEDINO has adequate Englisn tor business purposes, he does not feel at home in the language and quite often misinterprets the English expressions. Another advantage is that testing at Miami by individuals who have not been connected and who are not likely to be connected with him in the future should provide an objective assessment and should not interfere with the rapport necessary to maintain good relations in the future if the tests are favorable. Another advantage is that his Miami trip is a vacation so that he should have time em
