‘leased under the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 (44 USC DI07 Hotes. DATE: 11-14-7017 on Qe y - ex _# MM 105-5451 - ADMINISTRATIVE - Subject in interview denied being or having been Dominican intelligence agent or receiving money from Dominican Republic (DR). Investigation reflects subject was the police official contacted by DR Consulate, Miami, _ for liaison purposes and once accepted invitation of Dominican government to visit DR. It is further noted that MM 768-C on October 26, 1961 advised that ROBERT EMMETT JOHNSON, self- described foreign affairs analyst for former Dominican leader RAFAEL L. TRUJILLO MOLINA, 1956-60, claimed to MM 768-C that SAPP for years had sold information to the Dominican government and that the files in the DR. should show this; however, it is ~.neted that JOHNSON was interviewed on two separate occasions by - the’ Miami Office as a résult of his claims to knowledge of Dominican intelligence operations. When specifically questioned for positive information, he claimed to have no specific knowledge. . It is further reflected in Miami files that on October 12, 1958, EDUARDO HERNANDEZ, then serving as Cuban Consul in Miami (identity should be protected), advised SA ROBERT JAMES DWYER that Detective CHARLES SAPP of the Miami Police Department had informed HERNANDEZ of the arrest of HUGO GONZALEZ LAJONCHERE and furnished HERNANDEZ with a. police report on the matter. HERNANDEZ had been contacted in connec- tion with investigation of the case entitled "SERGIO SANJENIS CABARROCAS, aka; ET AL," Bufile 2-1505. This case dealt with the investigation of the possible formation of a demolition ~ team to.operate against the then Cuban government which po oR HERNANDEZ. then represented in Miami. Miami files reflect that SAPP has in the past furnished information in connection with criminal intelligence matters to the Miami Office and continues to do so at the present. time in connection with the hoodlum program. - In view of the above, it is not felt that further investigative effort is warranted in connection with this matter and it is closed.
