104-10103-10351: MFR RE POSSIBILITY AMLEO-3 UNDER CONTROL OF CUBAN SECURITY SERVICES

Memo for the Record, 2/10/64, by Paul Maggio: Describes AMLEO-2 as the sister of AMLEO-3. "We went thru the crack in the door. We sent AMLEO-3 and a WAVE Case officer to Mexico. (Probably Sforza?) AMLEO-3 contacts the cut-out who we learned was known to AMLEO-3 and an old friend. About the time AMLEO-3 and his case officer were en route to Mexico we learn that AMLEO-2 arrives Mexico from Cuba AMLEO-3 met with AMLEO-2 in Mexico and got the story from her about his family In my opinion, he may well have received work at this time from Fidel thru his sister AMLEO-2. In any event, after making payment to the cut-out, amleo-3 and case officer return to Miami...THIS CASE IN MY OPINION REPRESENTS A FLAP POTENTIAL WHICH WE WOULD FIND VERY DIFFICULT TO LIVE WITH IF OCCURS."
