I saw his name connected in a article somewhere to Branko Marinkovic, one of the most powerful opposition guys in Bolivia. I can look for it later. These people all come from the same area that spawned the genocidal US-supported dictator Hugo Banzer who had US material support in his coup, and who also actually EMPLOYED Nazi "Butcher of Lyon," Klaus Barbi who moved there after the Second World War, threw indigenous people off their ancient lands, and brought in white settlers from South Africa to create his "white Bolivia."
