residence.
DETAILS:
On Monday, December 20, 1976, this writer and Det. D.
Bonitos
interviewed FELIPE GONZALEZ SERRAIN, who provided the
following
information.
That the full name of the female who met him and ROBERTO
FERNANDEZ near
the WQBA parking lot is BLANCA SOTO nee BLANCA
JIMENEZ. That she
is a Chilean national who is presently residing in Miami
illegally. That BLANCA SOTO had called him on Monday
and asked
him (SERRAIN) for a job at the Ocean Pavillion Hotel.
That he would set up a meeting with ROBERTO FERNANDEZ to
meet this
writer on December 21, 1976 at the Ocean Pavillion Hotel,
room 1614, at
approximately 12:00 noon. That FERNANDEZ was very
hesitant to
speak to anyone about the incident (Milian bombing) and that
he felt
that the meeting should include only this writer, FERNANDEZ
and himself
(SERRAIN).
That he recalls that the vehicle he observed GASPAR JIMENEZ
and the
other unidentified person working on at the WQBA parking lot
was a
white or light colored station wagon which was facing toward
S. W. 1
Street and was parked approximately in the middle of the
WQBA parking
lot. SERRAIN described the unidentified male as a W/M
approximately in his 20's, approximately 5'8" in height,
medium
complexion, with blonde or light brown hair, with a handsome
Latin face
and no facial hair. SERRAIN further stated that he was
shown a
photograph
of the same person by FBI S/A V. Warger but that he did not
tell S/A
Warger that the photograph depicted the same person he had
observed at
the WQBA parking lot working under the above described
vehicle.
It should be noted that SERRAIN had not disclosed to S/A
Warger that he
(SERRAIN) had been present at the WQBA parking lot when the
aforementioned event took place, but that he had only
informed Warger
that he knew a person who had been present and Warger gave
SERRAIN the
photographs so that they could be shown to the other person.
That allegedly he had met with CARLOS RIVERO DEL COLLADO on
at least
two occasions in May 1976. During one of those
meetings RIVERO
attempted to recruit him to work for the Cuban government
and offered
him money and also showed him a photograph of SERRAIN'S son
and
RIVERO'S son which was taken in Cuba and also gave him a 25
cent coin
that had been stretched out to the size of a silver dollar
and
instructed him to keep that coin because it would be used to
identify
SERRAIN to other Cuban agents.
That after the JESUS GONZALEZ CARTAS homicide he received a
phone call
from HUMBERTO LOPEZ, SR. during which LOPEZ instructed him
to attend
the GONZALEZ CARTAS funeral and to take the aforementioned
coin with
him. That when he arrived at the funeral home he was
standing
holding a conversation with VIDAL MORALES and REVEREND (FNU)
O'FARRIL
when he was introduced to GUILLERMO (WILLIE CALVINO); that
the young
bearded person also pulled out of his pocket a coin similar
to the one
that COLLADO had given SERRAIN and that he then stated it
was important
for SERRAIN to see EVA GUTIERREZ, who was also present at
the funeral.
That he later met with EVA GUTIERREZ who in turn introduced
him to a
Cuban mulatto male known to him only as HERMINIO, who is
also a Cuban
agent and who at a later time informed SERRAIN that he
should travel to
Jamaica in order to meet with CARLOS RAFAEL RODRIGUEZ (a
high ranking
member of the Cuban politburo and communist party); however,
SERRAIN
was unable to travel outside the U. S. territory and was
unable to set
up the meeting.
That HERMINIO at a later day instructed him to travel to the
New York
City area where he was to make contact with two ABDALA
members, LAZARO
ALVAREZ and GUSTAVO MARIN DUARTE, who in turn would
introduce SERRAIN
to RICARDO ALARCON (Cuban consul to the United Nations Cuban
delegation). That ALARCON would provide SERRAIN with
money and
instructions on how to set up a "dummy corporation" which
would serve
as a front to pay a group of people which would consist of
10 or 12
members personally recruited by SERRAIN which would be made
to believe
that they are working for the CIA (Central Intelligence
Agency).
This group of persons may be used to carry out political
assassinations
including that of MANUEL ESPINOSA.
That according to HERMINIO, REVEREND MANUEL ESPINOSA would
undertake a
propaganda campaign which would be favorable to the Cuban
government
and which would culminate in the release of several American
prisoners
from Cuba's jails approximately in mid January 1977.
That after
that event takes place, ESPINOSA would be assassinated by
SERRAIN'S
group of people in order to make it appear as though the CIA
was
responsible for ESPINOSA'S assassination.
Investigation continues.
