The following is a composite of information

Chicago informants who were intimately associated with

GIANCANA before, during and after the 1966 - 1974 period.

These are former CG 7177-PC, undoubtedly the closest

intimate of GIANCANA during his period in Mexico and

prominent Chicago LCN member; former CG 7016-CTE,

until his death in July, 1976 one of the top half-dozen

leaders of organized crime in Chicago for decades; and

CG 7177-PC (accompanied GIANCANA to Mexico in

June, 1966 and lived

with him there for almost the entire

jobs for GIANCANA. This PC had many contacts in Mexico

Chere.

Pe introduced GIANCANA tO JORGE CASTILLO, a very

influential Mexican attorney with contacts in the higher

levels of Mexican Government.

PC advised that CASTILLO

made contact with LUIS ECHEVERRIA ALVAREZ, then the Minister

of Government in 1966, and now President of Mexico.

According

to this information, CASTILLO was able to provide certain

considerations to ECHEVERRIA which enabled GIANCANA to remain

in Mexico from 1966 to 1974 even though he had been declared

undesirable, a category which ordinarily precluded a person

from remaining in Mexico. As the Legat, Mexico City,

will recall, many efforts were made to effect the expulsion

of GIANCANA during this period, but it was not until 1974,.

some four years after ECHEVERRIA was elected president,

that he was expelled. pu

Not only from CG 7177-PC, who was somewhat involved,

but from other sources, it is known that GIANCANA was

involved in a CIA plot

The other two sources mentioned above, however,

EXCRET find

Obviously ,therefore, there are conflicting theories

emanating from highly

placed sources. No effort is made herein

to evaluate either.

However, it has come to the attention of the Chicago

Office that there is available in Mexico a Goverment official

who is in position to know of the motives involved in allowing

GIANCANA to stay in Mexico from 1966 to 1974 and why he was

suddenly expelled in 1974. This official logically would have

implemented

the expulsion. He may well know specifically who

It was who wanted GIANCANA expelled in 1974, whether representatives

of organized crime or of forces outside organized crime.

Information would be most helpful in evaluating

the motives

behind the killing of GIANCANA, and possibly be pertinent to

the ROSKIL matter.

(V)

This official is FERNANDO GUTIERREZ BARRIOS, Undersecretary

of the Ministry of Government and an ECHEVERRIA aide.

As liaison

contact of many years standing, there is reason to believe a

iscreet direct contact with him by Legat, Mexico City, or bj

contacts of the Legat who have also had close, continuing liaisor

with him might elicit the desired information.

As President

ECHEVERRIA Leaves office December 1, 1976,

may also be leaving government, this may be a particularly

propitious moment for an approach.

on apronia

and GUTIERREZ BARRIOS

The Bureau is, therefore, requested to have Legat,

Mexico City approach GUTTERREZ BARRIOS unless there are strong

reasons not to. 3
