A former Detroit resident deported in 1957 whom Detroit police testified 'later turned up in Cuba during the tail end of the Batista regime,' and whom a Bureau of Narcotics sheet says was 'deported to Italy again 1959 from Cuba.'

The police testimony calls him a deported "Mafia suspect," and the background sheet is a Bureau of Narcotics dossier entry; neither is a finding, and no family or role is set here. The two records spell the name differently; both describe a former Detroit resident deported in 1957 who went to Cuba. No record filed here gives his date of death.
