# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Fred,
You are very welcome, this research took me back to the good days, and I
really enjoyed doing it.
I started conducting a social media research on the subject and identified
an individual connected to Bruno. His name is Ute Mu:lle. Ute is a German
living in Switzerland with connections to Hammas* leadership in Syria and
Gaza.
I would like to gather more information on the subject from public sources
before I approach any official intel sources. This is mostly because I*m
afraid that someone will start wondering about my interest on the subject
and I want to make sure that we don*t step on any toes.
I will keep you informed on the research. Good luck in NY this week, I
wish I could join your presentation there but I have to be in Dallas this
week.
Best regards.
David

Fact is much stranger then fiction my friend. Where is Bruno or his
daughter now? Thanks very much for the efforts.

Hello Fred,
I called few former colleagues that I worked with in Germany and
Eastern Europe and also pulled out some private information I have on
Bruno. I also confirmed few details with public source information.
Bruno*s (code name *Luca*) last known trip started on November 11,
1995, with his girlfriend and their daughter Shona, 2 years old, when
they boarded a ferry in the Greek port of Igoumenitsa on their way to
Ancona, Italy, which was an approx 15 hours trip. Arrived at Ancona,
where the Italian customs were informed about Bruno*s presence on the
ferry, and being on the Italian intelligence red list as *persona non
grata*, he was separated from his girlfriend and his daughter, and
sent back with the ferry to Igoumenitsa.
The Italians were warned of Bruno*s presence on the ferry by the Greek
police. The Greek secret service waited for him back in Igoumenitsa to
pick him up. Apparently the Greeks were acting on behalf of French
authorities now. He was living part of the year in Perdika, a small
Greek village not far from Igoumenitsa, with the knowledge and the
protection of the country*s secret service since 1994. After Carlos
was arrested, Bruno was spending the time between Greece, Italy and
Austria. Bruno*s problems started when the Greeks and the French found
out that he was a double agent.
While the Greeks were waiting to pick him up at the port, an Israeli
Navy commando team accompanied by a war ship and a helicopter, that
had a mission close to Cyprus, were sent after Bruno to extract him
before the he gets in the port. He was picked up 17 minutes before the
ferry arrived in the port of Igoumenitsa.
After the mysterious disappearing there were rumors that it was a special
operation supported by NATO naval forces, which is not true. There were few
individuals in European ports at that time presenting themselves as NATO
officers, but they were Mossad and US Navy Intel. Mossad officers with
European citizenship posed as 'NATO officials' in many other previous missions
around the world, including the Middle East.
Another version was that Bruno was abducted by the Greek secret
service in an operation of thugs linked to the case of Carlos and
sponsored by Paris.
Another version was that Bruno was hiding in the ferry out of fear* a
non-sense version since the Greek secret service searched the ferry in
the port. The rumors about his dead body being in Greece were based on
the fact that he never contacted his family after the disappearing.
Back in 1994, four Swiss terrorists were arrested and detained for
several weeks by the Department General of Switzerland because they
were suspected of belonging to what Stasi used to call "Separat", the
code name for the Carlos Group. Their names were passed to the
Hungarian secret services by Bruno during one of his trips to Austria.
The Hungarians passed the names to the Swiss.
The US intelligence community had good relationship with the
Hungarians in 1995, where the Americans had few secret bases. After
the delivery of Bruno by the Israelis to the Americans (I*m not sure
about the agency, but it could be the Navy intelligence) in a friendly
port, Bruno was taken to Hungary. I just learned that Bruno left
Budapest, Hungary under a new identity at the end of 1997 to South
America. The most likely destination was Cuba.
An evidence that he was still alive in 1996 was the fact that his
initial patron, the Swiss Nazi Francois Genoud, was looking for him
too. Francois had the information on Bruno*s possible locations from
one or more ex-Stasi officers with connections in the Hungarian secret
service. Genoud also had ties to UBL that was looking after Bruno in
Arab countries. Much of bin Laden group's international activities
took place in the Geneva offices of Saudi Investment Company, managed
by board members that included Baudoin Dunant, who represented
Francois Genoud when he was on trial for participation in
international terrorism.
The CIA and the Israelis tried to take Genoud out in October 1993 when
he escaped a Mossad assassination attempt at his home in Switzerland.
Since then he became aware that the Israelis were closing in on him.
I arrived in Budapest in May 1996, but never heard about Bruno after
the mission in the Mediterranean. In the next few days I left Budapest
to Switzerland via Austria and Germany. I*m not sure if Genoud knew
about Bruno*s location, even if he was well connected in the CIA. I*m
not even sure that the CIA knew Bruno*s location. I just learned that
in June 1997 he was still in the Hungarian secret service custody.
However, Genoud died few days later on May 30, 1996 when he just
returned from a restaurant to his home town on Lake Lausanne. This
time he was poisoned for real and died immediately. The media reported
that his friends and relatives accompanied him back to his house,
where one of his lunch companions prepared him a lethal cocktail per
Genoud requests. At least this time the Mossad was not accused for the
assassination :)
If it is true that Bruno left to Cuba in 1997 and is still alive, then
he should be 62 years old today. His daughter, Shona, should be 18
years old.
I*ll continue investigating the case and keep you informed.
Best regards,
David

Yes in deed. Most interested. I don't think we grabbed him because
that was on my watch.

On the contrary to what many people believe, Mossad is not
assasinating people that easy. Even the most recent incident in
Dubai was an accident, they tried to bring the victim to Israel
and exchange him with the Israeli soldier in Iranian's custody.
Bruno was picked up by an Israeli navy commando and brought to a
friendly port in the Medditeranean. There he was picked up by a
team with two white vans to an unknown destination. The agents
were americans. There were rummors that he was taken to a CIA
secret site and he died during the interogation. I personally
believe that he is living under a new identity somewhere in South
America. I left the Navy in 96 and have not heard about him since
then. I can try to find out more on him if you are interested.
