On 9/10/68, Mr. STEVE CZUKAS, U. S. Customs, Miami,

Florida,

advised that Custons has been conducting & continu

ing investigation of the SNE and its military leader, ARKANDO

FLEITES. MT. CZUKAS said that he had furnished information

concerning the presence in the Bahamas of SNFE members to the

U. S. Coast Guard, Miami, Florida, in order that it could be

transmitted to the appropriate authorities in the Bahamas.

As a result, the Bahamas Police authorities were able to ar-

rest the five individuals mentioned in referenced Bureau

airtel.

Mr. CZUKAS said that he believes that with the sur-

render of the four SNFE members to Bahamas authorities re-

cently, ARHANDO FLEITES is now left with only one or two men

to assist him. Mr. CZUKAS said that the indication is that

FLEITES is in very poor physical condition. He based this

on an interview which he had with a member of the sNeE, who

said that FLEITES is existing on norphine, is not rational,

his boat has broken down, and he will have difficulty in

maintaining himself much longer. MI. CZUKAS said that FLEITES

British Marines, who were formerly stationed in the

Bahamas, have been removed, and the Bahamian Govern-

ment has no police force available to effect the

capture of FLEITES at the moment, but that on the

other hand, they feel that he is

contained. He said

that the four individuals who surrendered are expected

to be tried on various charges, including piracy.

The ClA, Miami, has advised that they have

no operational interest

in the activities of the SNFE.
