Probable
Discussion:
A dispatch in July 1962 stated that AMFAUNA-9: was "a former sales manager for a coffee firm, he secures information of general interest from coffee buyers travelling throughout Cuba." In addition, in the same dispatch, number 9 of Attachment E listed Pepe Embas, a former sales manager for Regil Coffee, on the contacts of AMFAUNA-1 (David Cabeza Coupau). Therefore, Pepe Embas was probably AMFAUNA-9.
