Summary  
The document details a CIA memorandum dated July 27, 1961, regarding Eduardo Sepinosa y Prieto, a Mexican citizen born in Mexico City. It notes that the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV) in Germany requested information on a German national in Bremen suspected of Polish intelligence activities linked to Espinosa’s account. The CIA provided details about Espinosa’s background, including his birthdate as January 1997 (though this conflicts with later references to his diplomatic career in the 1960s), his role as Mexican Ambassador to Warsaw, and his alleged financial ties to Communist activities in New York City. His wife, Tamarino, is described as a Soviet intelligence agent who resided in Mexico after being admitted in 1947. The document also references Espinosa’s interactions with the Soviet Embassy, including a 1953 relationship with Soviet Ambassador Kapustin, and mentions his brother’s death in a Soviet prison in 1953. The CIA concluded Espinosa was pro-Communist, possibly a KGB agent, and provided assessments to German authorities.
