Summary: This document is a United States Government Office Memorandum from the FBI Miami SAC dated May 20, 1959. It details information regarding Santo Trafficante Jr., also known as "Santo," and his opposition to the upcoming marriage of his daughter, Mary Jo Trafficante, to August C. Paniello. The informant reports that Paniello is a law student at Stetson University College of Law in St. Petersburg, Florida, and is the son of Dr. Santiaco Paniello and Mrs. Elvira Paniello, who reside in Tampa, Florida. The wedding, scheduled for an unspecified date in 1969, was opposed by Trafficante and his wife due to Paniello's prior marriage and divorce.

The FBI Miami SAC forwards this information to the U.S. Legation in Havana for potential monitoring of underworld gatherings related to the event.
