Sr a 4th CONFIDENTIAL 9 —#vef Suite Re marginally quoted subject, your reference 92-162. Gh AM From sources to this Department, it has been gleaned that Joseph Francisco Mario EANDINO arrived at Heathrow Airport, London vie NewoYone on FFiday, 12 12th December, 1975 on an Air India Flight. He then went to the Cotteridge Hotel, Woking, Surrey where he booked in a single room until Sunday, l4th December, 1975. It is not ‘known who LANDINO met during this three day stay but it is known that he { then flew out from Heathrow Airport at 1900 hours on a Swiss Air flight bound for Zurich. He returned to the United Kingdom the following day and apparently returned to the Cotteridge Hotel. According to sources within the hotel, LANDINO was booked to return to the United States on Wednesday, 17th December, 1975 and that at about noon LANDINO checked out of the hotel, apparently in something of a hurry, stating to. the hotel employees that he was leaving for Heathrow Airport. Nothing further can be traced at this stage as to “LANDINO's movements in this country. Extensive enquiries have been made in an effort to trace and identify the nature, of the business that LANDINO has been sent over to settle. It must be emphasised that the following informiation is supposition only and cannot be proved in any way. ’ From the description given of the individual ,who arta Rolls “Royoe and spends a great deal of time in Fr e, it is of the opinion .that this could be a man called Jud STOCK, the former owner of the Victoria Sporting Club, who is reputedly a millionnaire of Jewish background and a qualified solicitor. BINSTOCK has been involved in:several business enterprises in France where he lives, at 49 Avenue Foch, Parisi 16. It is understood by this Department that he has also been to Miami on several occasions where he has many associates, some possibly involved with the Miami Crime Syndicate. Further, it is understood that BINSTOCK is a member of the Miami Turf Club. _L 0k ‘There are no criminal convictions recorded against BINSTOCK but he is well known to this Department because of his suspected association with members of Newel ena syndicates, one of whom is known to be the notorious Din i LLINI, who is undoubtedly already well known to your Organised Crime Department in Washington. There is no trace of BINSTOCK recently visiting the U.K. and efforts are continuing to establish, if it is indeed BINSTOCK who is the man involved, as to what business it was that caused LANDING to be sent to this country. ; CONFIDENTIAL =| 217i) f3.- if
