KFJ/veb has in the past and is still utilizing his services, a real estate investment broker, who is carried as a Potential Criminal Informant, ED WATZ, who has in the past handled some real estate transactions for. JOSEPH BONANNO. During the recent past, however, this informant has been unable to furnish any information of value concerning this subject: During the period covered by this report, the Phoenix Division utilized highly confidential sources in the residence . and automobile owned by the subject, but no information of value was received from either of these sources concerning any activities or connections of JOSEPH BONANNO, with the "Commission". As has been previously stated, investigation has.established that JOSEPH BONANNO does nothing-in Arizona except reside in Tucson in the ~ role of a wealthy retired gentleman. Through the investigation concerning his activities, there has never been developed in - the Phoenix Division or by other divisions of the Bureau any information to indicate that BONANNO has any "commission" activity | whatever going in Arizona.. - B* .
