By report received May 1, 1964, Dy. ARISTIDE

MANOPULO, Central Bureau,

Criminal Division, Italian

National

Folice, Rome, Italy, furnished the

following

additional information regarding the subject:

The records of the Office of Vital Statistics,

Castellammare del Golfo, Italy, reflect that

BONANNO WaS

single,

that he had

no brothers

sisters, and that

his parents were deceased.

These records further reflect that there is

sently

residing in that city GIOVANNI BONVENTRE,

a cousin of BONANNO, who was formerly a U.S. citizen

but who has reacquired Italian citizenship.

No

other relatives are known to reside in that city.

The criminal records for Castellammare del Golfo

disclose

no criminal record for BQNANNO. It was

indicated, however, that he came from a

family

having

criminal

record and that his father was

killed

some 40 years ago by the Mafia.

It was not possible to deternine if BONANNO has

any connection with criminal elements; however, it

was pointed out that when BONANNO arrived in Italy

in 1957 he was in contact with persons connected,

or suspected of connections with,

the Maria, suc

as FRANCESCO GAROFALO and GIOVANNI BONVENIRE.

Rome is continuing

to follow this matter closely

and any pertinent information developed will be promptly

forwarded to Pureau and interested offices.
