                         a.  Memo for the Record  dated .6 March 1964 on
                             Moises SANTI y  Marcheli, sourced to AMNIP-l
                             (Miguel ROCHE -  former G-2 defector)
                             (201-354406)

                             1.  This memo concerns  the involvement of
                AMNIP-1  (A-1) with a group in Cuba headed by SANTI, in
                exchanging dollars for Cuban pesos.  A-1's  involvement
                was by invitation of SANTI who  turned out to be G-2.  SANTI
                told A-1 that they would have  to be on the alett because
                of other important group, also  involved in money changing,
                directed by  Evaristo GARCIA, then  in Miami and a friend of
                Cuban gambler fnu SANTOS Trafficante  (sic);;Roberto SUSI;
                and fnu LEAL, with whom they would  sooner or later have
                trouble.  Money was sent to Miami  by diplomats accredited to
                Cuba in the false bottom of a cardboard  suitcase made by
                XRANTI's younger brother in the latter's office in old
                Havana.  The suitcase was received  in Miami by a person
                of confidence who had a passport  and a visa.  Travel'by
                plane and permissian to leave  the country was obtained by
                SKNTI through the Chief of the Department  of Technical
                Investigations  (DTI) of the Department of Investigation of
                the Rebel Army  (DIER) at the International Airport at
                Rancho Boyeros.  Suitcases with  false bottoms for the other
                groups were also made by SANTI's brother  as he was the only
                one who could make them with perfection.   A crisis did
                develop between SPNTI and the other  groups, because they
                diverted money exchanges to themselves.

                             2.  SANTI reportedly  left Cuba on a Greek ship
                (date unknown).  In October 1962  SANTI had repottedly just
                opened a store in New Orleans, Louisiana.   A-1 learned from
                a person in Miami in 1963 that  SANTI had said he was prepar-
                ing a false bankruptsy for his  store in New Orleans.  SANTI
                also reportedly declared a  false bankruptsy for a store he
                owned in Caracas, Venezuela, when  he returned to Cuba
                following the downfall of Batista.   .
