In the early 1960s, Antonio Veciana was the CIA’s man in Havana holding a senior position in the Cuban government . He wreaked havoc on Fidel Castro’s Communist regime, firebombing the capital’s largest department store and plotting to kill Castro.
After being forced into exile, Veciana didn’t quit. From 1960 -1970s, he funneled CIA funds to a network of Miami-based counter-revolutionaries who carried out an armed revolt against the Cuban government.
Declassified CIA cables confirm Veciana’s working relationship with the agency and even his code name, AMSHALE-1.
Veciana had twin careers: accounting and spying. In 1960, Veciana joined Castro’s new socialist government to subvert it from within. He stole official funds while working for Finance Minister Che Guevara and used the money to fund attacks on government offices, security outposts, factories and warehouses.
That’s consistent with my post.
