Eugene de Kock: I do it for the sake of completion. I dont want to jump around. I do it all in sequence so as to benefitfit yourself and to save time.
FHL Hans Ölvebro: And the copy has been handled over to us.
Eugene de Kock: Yes, I don't have problem with that. It has been over to you. If you want the original, you are also welcome. You can keep a copy and then you have it in handwriting as well.
FHL Hans Ölvebro: You were starting to talk about the American connection.
Eugene de Kock: Philip Powell made it very clear that there was a very strong American connection between the International Freedom Foundation as well as with a Longreach company a definite, or implied, or definite implied CIA connection. There is no doubt about it.
Philip Powell enjoyed a lot of a trust in this company where they operated in. I give you another example later.
He had to fly to Pakistan and pick up two or three of the chief mujadeens, or these leaders. And had to fly them into Huambo, which was their Unita head quarters in Angola.
And at the same time, and I believe it was a riganeer (?), (brigader) at the same time they flew in the Contras and all the other South American, rightwing groups Sandinistas to whatever happened there.
There was so many little wars going on there. There was definitely a very very strong American connection concerning that.
OK, Philip Powell also mentioned to me, and this is to give you a back ground example of the openness that existed between us.
He and two or three other people operatives in this front company that he worked for, now live in England.
He also told me that on the Thames, one of those rivers in the central of London, well it is the Thames going through it in any case, there was a bust of Nelson Mandela, which was fabricated by some polymor? (Polymer) . Or plastic material so it couldn't rust and they destroyed this, by throwing some liquid over and setting it alight.
And they were actually caught out. He never said who it was, if it was a special branch of MI5 or MI6. I don't think it would be MI6 in any case.
So they were operating, they were busy and they were in a destruction mood. Let me put it here that way.
FHL Hans Ölvebro: Can you tell us exactly what exactly told you about the murder of Mr Olof Palme.
Eugene de Kock: What he said is that this man is the man who shot Olof Palme, and that is it.
He never gave details how the man walked up or if he did walk up or if he was on a bike or if he was in a car or whatever.
