DATA SUMMARIES
Project 94-280-0
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Following are the perceived highlights
SG1A
- (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Source A:
-- There are a small number of submersible vessels in
existence located in the Caribbean Sea area and they are ideal
for transporting cargo undetected. The vessels have some
technical communications capabilities and are run by South
Americans operating within this region. They have carried drugs
in the past consisting of white packaged cocaine or marijuana and
same munitions or fire arms for protection purposes. Since these
specific vessels tasked hereto were abandoned and no longer in
use, it is reasonable to assume there is nothing of value found
on them now. This is not a solo operation but involves a highly
organized group consisting of some Latin American speaking
individuals. A middleman of particular interest is tall with a
sculpted face and long black hair. A large profit for illegal
contraband has been obtained by these people who have been
suspect of illegal activities in the past.
(S/NF/SG/WN/LIMDIS) Source B:
-- No information.
(S/NF/SG/WN/LIMDIS) Source C:
-- This abandoned vessel could have been sighted by an
aircraft flying over it. The vessel is of Central/South American
origin. The fact that it was abandoned could lead one to believe
that it is no longer wanted for its use. In the past history of
drug trafficking, sometimes these types of vessels are abandoned
once they have been utilized for such activities. These types of
vessels are usually old and dirty. It is not perceived that the
owners are looking for or wanting this vessel back in their
ownership. There is nothing on board this vessel.
