MIDLAND (AP) — An FBI agent
who secured a grand-jury subpoena
of telephone records in an adminis
trative probe of another agent is
known for using imaginative investi- '
gative techniques, an assistant FBI
director testified to a federal judge.
The FBI maintains it did nothing
wrong in its probe of agent Ber
nardo “Matt” Perez, though grand
jury subpoenas of phone records are
supposed to be used only in criminal
— not administrative — investiga
tions.
U.S. District Judge Lucius Bunton
requested the hearings this week so
he can determine whether the FBI
illegally secured the subpoena for a
non-criminal matter to retaliate
against Perez for his successful class-
action racial discrimination suit
against the agency and for contra
dicting his boss’ testimony in an es
pionage trial.
W.A. Galvin, assistant director of
the FBI’s investigations division, tes
tified Tuesday that inspector Gary
Hart — who has investigated Perez
since 1986 with no findings of
wrongdoing — is a dogged and tena
cious investigator who uses “imagi
native techniques” in solving cases.
The administrative probe of Perez
— the No. 2 man in the FBI’s El Paso
office — began in the midst of the
discrimination suit and after he had
testified in the espionage trial of for
mer agent Richard Miller.
Miller, an agent in the Los An
geles office, was convicted in 1986 of
passing secrets to the Soviets. At the
time of Miller’s arrest, Perez was the
No. 2 agent in the Los Angeles office
under agent-in-charge Richard
Bretzing.
Perez testified at Miller’s trial in
Los Angeles that he had warned
Bretzing that Miller should be fired
or forced into disability retirement
because of his emotional and physi
cal instability.
Bretzing, who was a leader of Los
Angeles’ Mormon community, never
took action against Miller, also a
Mormon, until Miller’s arrest. Perez
and other Hispanic agents in the Los
Angeles FBI office have contended
that Bretzing led a “Mormon Mafia”
in the office that protected errant
Mormon agents and discriminated
against Hispanics.
Bretzing insisted during the es
pionage trial and ever since that
Perez never talked to him about
Miller. After Miller’s trial, Bretzing
accused Perez of perjury and
launched a criminal investigation,
according to testimony in the class-
action discrimination suit heard last
August in El Paso.
The FBI exonerated Perez in Jan
uary 1987 — the same month that
Stiffer drug laws
centerpiece of bill
AUSTIN (AP) — Proposals to in
crease punishment for drug-related
offenses will be the centerpiece of
the 1989 House anti-crime legis
lative package, a state lawmaker said
Wednesday.
“The sale and abuse of illegal
drugs represents quite possibly the
greatest threat to the welfare, safety
and future of our citizens,” Rep.
Dan Morales, D-San Antonio, told a
news conference.
Morales, who said he is coordinat
ing bills that will make up the anti
crime package at the request of
House Speaker Gib Lewis, an
nounced proposals to:
• Expand the capital punishment
statute to include drug-related mur
ders.
This would allow the death pen
alty to be imposed when a murder is
committed during an aggravated vi
olation of the Controlled Substances
Act. As a practical matter, Morales
said, this would cover the manufac
ture and delivery of the “more
harmful” substances, such as heroin.
• Create the sanction of life in
prison without parole for repeat
narcotics traffickers.
• Set up a state law patterned af
ter the federal Racketeer In
fluenced, Corrupt Organizations
Act to facilitate prosecution of those
engaged in organized crime.
Such a law would allow state pros
ecutors to go after “so-called legiti
mate businessmen who profit from
narcotics trafficking, prostitution,
gambling, weapons-dealing, bribery
or other illegal activities,” Morales
said. It would provide for the for
feiture of any property derived from
the income of organized criminal ac
tivity.
“If the state is given the authority
to seize houses, office buildings, real
estate, corporate stock, airplanes,
boats and other property derived
from illegal income, then it becomes
very difficult for the criminal enter
prise to continue its operation,” he
said.
The Governor’s Task Force on
Drug Abuse also has called for such
a state statute, saying the present
state law places too heavy a burden
on the law enforcement agency to
prove money or property seized in a
drug-related investigation is directly
linked to a drug-related crime.
“The proposed RICO statute
would create a mechanism to effecti
vely detect and prosecute those indi
viduals who may be profiting im
mensely from a criminal enterprise,
yet are adept at insulating them
selves from actual hands-on criminal
involvement,” Morales said.
A state law is needed in addition
to the federal act because federal au
thorities “are simply overburdened,”
he said.
Capital punishment and life im
prisonment are “harsh and tragic
sanctions,” Morales added.
“But severe criminal offenses re
quire correspondingly severe legis
lative responses. A clear message
must be sent to those who would
seek to profit through the exploita
tion of human weakness,” Morales
said.

HOUSTON (AP) — An oil

Colombian guerrillas say he lived
a primivite existence during his
138 days of captivity, but he
wasn’t harmed by his captors.
lacopo “Jake” Gambini, a for
mer Texas resident, was released
from captivity last week and is
spending some time with friends
at an undisclosed location in the
United States, the Houston Post

An early riser, Gambini wast

“They never threatened meii

they meant business.”
“Everyone expects it to happen
to their friends,” he said in a tele
phone interview. “But you never
expect it would happen to you.”
Gambini, a petroleum engi
neer and major shareholder in
General Pipe Services Inc. of Bo
gota, was released after weeks of
negotiations between his captors
and family members.
The 56-year-old Gambini is
one of an estimated 300 business
executives kidnapped in Colom

captors, who were paid an undis

“We moved around quite a fe*

But his captors, he said, were

“I spent most of my days read

Gambini said he didn’t kno*
about any negotiations and wasni
told in advance that he would be
released.
Despite his ordeal, Gambini
said he would consider goin|

to a Colombian woman.
