Cryptonym: QUSWIFT-7
10/1/63 report from SA Clarence P. Graham, Miami, to New York: "On May 7, 1963, Ramiro Sanchez Montesino...advised that he was a Brigade 2506 prisoner and was in a cell next to ROBERTO PEREZ CRUZATA. He had the opportunity to talk clandestinely to Perez a few days before Perez was executed. He stated Perez told him to relay information to the American authorities that FRANCISCO RODRIGUEZ TAMAYO, who is also known as 'El Mexicano', was a spy for Castro. PEREZ told SANCHEZ that he told AMEIJERAS that he was not a communist, and for this reason was being shot....SANCHEZ said he was not present at any interview when PEREZ talked to AMEIJERAS...MIGUELINA TEURBE-TOLON COLLADO was interviewed: "She was never married to Roberto Perez Cruzata (note: she received widow's benefits from the CRC). She first met him shortly before the Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961...Perez told her that he and another individual, HUMBERTO RODRIGUEZ DIAZ, with whom Perez came to the United States, had been police officers in Cuba under Batista. After Castro came to power, Perez and Rodriguez had been imprisoned for the killing of a communist...(she learned Ameijeras) engineered their escape...solely because of his former association with them as police officers and his friendship with them...MIGUELINA said she had never received the note PEREZ claimed he had sent to her the preceding week. "TOTA" is her nickname...During early 1961 she was casually acquainted with FRANCISCO RODRIGUEZ TAMAYO as a friend of HUMBERTO RODRIGUEZ. She had no knowledge that this individual was a G-2 agent of the Castro government." For a number of reasons, the story about Perez's death seems to be false - especially because it looks like Perez and Ameijeras were friends.

May 11, 1967 - From Bernardo de Torres chrono, prepared by Edwin Lopez of the HSCA: "(On 5/11/67) Carlos Bringuier appeared at the (FBI New Orleans office) and said that on the preceding day he had been telephoned by Rene Carballo, a Cuban refugee in New Orleans who he believed was working for Jim Garrison. Carballo said that he was conducting his own investigation of the assassination of President Kennedy and was providing the results to a reporter who works for the N.O. States-Item. He said that the head of the training camp in Lake Pontchartrain was known as "El Mexicano" and that this man accompanied LHO to Mexico City. Carballo questioned Bringuier regarding the latter's contacts with the FBI. Bringuier denied such contacts." No identifiable traces for Rene Carballo in New Orleans - and the FBI felt there was no reason to believe that a Rene Carballo identified as a G-2 agent in Cuba was the same man. The story was that Carballo came to New Orleans in late 1963. https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=55187&relPageId=157&search=carballo Bringuier could have simply made up the Rene Carballo/Oswald story.
