Duney Perez Alamo, aka Dunney Perez Alamo.
Status:
Documented
Discussion:
Based on his name alone, AMLUNT-2 must have had some kind of relationship with a famous American spy in Cuba, Lawrence Lunt, who was part of the AMSOUR operation before his capture in late 1964. Castro had been a personal friend of Lunt, and believed that Lunt was trying to kill him. Lunt was held for almost 20 years.
