THE TIE-IN BETWEEN DRUG SMUGGLING AND ESPIONAGE
According to documnts contained in his 201 file, QJ/WIN was tall and thin, married (although homosexual)
with many friends in well-to-do Parisian circles.He was a conman extraordinaire! He 'd been a a double agent during the war and had testified at the trial of Marshall Petain. After the war he got involved in smuggling and one of four or five FBN agents in Europe at the time recruited him and set him up in a business in Luxumburg.
I wonder if we could find out who, from our list of suspects, had testified at the Petain trial.
The following is from Weberman's Nodule 3
WHO WAS QJWIN?
The CIA settled on candidate number six, FNU Mankel, QJWIN (IRD #34,944). QJWIN was identified as a 44-year-old Luxembourg citizen. In 1919 he was arrested at Geneva for complicity in an assassination and sentenced to life imprisonment. In 1925, he was released through the influence of his friends. In December 1939, he was accused of embezzlement in Luxembourg. In December 1939, he was arrested by the French authorities on suspicion of espionage and interned at Gurs. Again, he was released through the influence of friends - Muchen, Laval - in June 1940. In August 1941, he was
given an important intelligence post in Bordeaux by the Germans. In November 1943, he was arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned at Frennes. A few days later he was released and placed under house surveillance at his Paris home. It was reported: "Reported to be art dealer and homosexual. Subject was described as wealthy and cultured. Subject had numerous friends in good Parisian circles and appeared to be more than a collaborator." In December 1943, he was expelled from France by the Gestapo and instructed to live at "fudelange" in Luxembourg. When he was arrested in Luxembourg on September 16, 1944, papers found on him indicated he had a fair amount of influence with the Germans and possibly was an agent.[CIA 201-245882 7.17.59] On August 7, 1945, he was mentioned at the trial of Marshall Petain.
On September 5, 1958, Priority Traces on Subject and family were requested from (deleted) to the Chief Western European Division:
1. Priority A traces are requested on Subject who is the (deleted) informant referred to in para 2 of (illegible) 0010. Depending on the outcome of the traces, it is planned to use Subject as an Agent Provocateur and or a double agent against the Soviets.
2. (Deleted) has known Subject since the early 1950's when Subject was a successful smuggler. (Deleted) 3 and (Deleted) used Subject as an informer on the activities of other smugglers in Luxembourg. Subject is financially indebted to (deleted) who has loaned him money to get started in a legitimate business. (In addition, (Deleted) knows a lot about Subject's past illegal activities, which might conceivably be used against Subject.) Subject has many varied contacts among illegal traders and petty criminals as well as among influential legitimate businessmen. He is described by the (Deleted) as a quick thinker and one who can "think on his feet." When the question arose as to who a suitable candidate for provocateur might be, (Deleted) suggested Subject. (Deleted) was called in and without hesitation he answered the same question immediately with Subject's name. When the question is put to (Deleted) who is more conservative in judgment than either (Deleted) or (Deleted) he also agreed Subject was ideal choice. According to the (Deleted) assessment of Subject, he is the type of person who would appeal to (Deleted) and since we have been searching for means to probe into KGB activities in Luxembourg, Subject may well be the man for the job.
Who ever was QJ/WIN i doubted that he was part of the Dallas plot.
