Propaganda Due
In July 1990, Brenneke provided documents to Italian journalists regarding Licio Gelli and Propaganda Due (P2), asserting CIA support for their activities. Calling the allegations "absolute nonsense", the CIA denied involvement in Italian terrorism and the assassination of Olof Palme. Given "the outrageous nature of his claims", the CIA gave a public denial stating: "The agency flatly denies that Mr. Brenneke was ever an agent of the CIA or had any association with the CIA."
