104-10178-10189 JFK Assassination Records Archives 1 (9/9/1960)

handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch42778 and id is 1 raw text is: 14.i178 10189 9 SEP is6'J MMQANUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Spas Todorov RAIKIN 1. A review of Subject's 201 file (201-282538) reveals that many reports emanating from tavalla Basneare missing or rather had never been included in the file and that subsequent activities othis in Switzerland and the United States had never been reported. 2. The undersigned was directly involved with Subject's initial refuge in Greece, as the undersigned was toe Chief at Kavallqat the time and participated in the interrogation of 4ubject and the others who defected with him due to the suspicious nature of their escape story. During later years, in the course of debriefing various contects and consultants, Subject's name came up during these discussions and the underjigned was able-to piece together the sequence of affairs from the time of RAIKIN's escape until the present. 3. During the summer of 1951, Subjectalong vi U two other individuals who were all Trudovaks working on airfields in Bulgaria, escaped to Greece. In connection with their escape, four other individuals likewiae escaped to Greece. During Subject's interrogation and the interrogation of his friends, it was felt that the escpe story needed clarification from a CE standpoint. To the best of our novledge, however, none of the individuals, including Subjecg.appeared to be connected with the DId. There was a poss- ibility which was mentioned at the times, that Subject, due to his educational background, may have been a sleerer type agent. During Subject's initial interrogation he stated that politically he was partial to, although not a member of, the Nikola Petkov faction (left wing) of the Agrarian party. It was likewise determined that Subject's interest precluded operational use as a cross border agent and neither he nor his colleagues were recruited. The other four individuals who escaped separately to Greece were, however, recruited. 4. Upon arrival in the DP camp in Athens (lavrion) Subject became involved in political discussions and at that time claimed to be an adherent of the Dinitur Gichev faction (rtght wing) of the Agrarian party, uhich nad been outlawed upon the event of communism in Bulgaria. His political mach- inations caused splitting of the ref'ugees into zplinter groups and rather than succeeding in affecting unity, it caused diounity. Again the thought came up as to whether Subject was a provocation agent or not. However, no evidence was uncovered to substantiate this theory. RETURN1 TO CIA Backgr~fld Use Only Do Not ReprodUce
