The Doctor Fabiano Statement
This statement, seemingly banal, was discovered during the furor over the Klaus Barbie case, when the US Attorney General ordered the CIA, the Army, and several other agencies to search their files and turn over all documents relating to the "Ratline" and other keywords associated with program to smuggle Nazi fugitives out of Europe at the end of World War II. It links the "Golden Priest" and operative on the Ratline, Father Krunoslav Draganovic, with the agent known as DYNAMO, who worked with US intelligence well into the 1960s. For more on the importance of this statement, see this document and the accompanying introductory note. The Italian text is translated below; "Luglio" is Italian for July.
