This program highlights the relationship between fugitive financier and U.S. intelligence asset Robert Vesco and two generations of the Nixon family. Donald Nixon (the president’s nephew) was detained in Cuba in connection with his relationship with Vesco (who is in Cuba and who was investigated by Cuban authorities in connection with alleged violations of Cuban security regulations.) The Nixon family-Vesco connection goes back a long way. In addition to his illegal contributions to Richard Nixon’s re-election campaign, Vesco was involved in a scheme to manufacture automatic weapons for use by fascist elements in Latin America. In this operation, Vesco worked with elements of U.S. intelligence and organized crime. The aborted operation was inextricably linked with a drug trafficking milieu. (Recorded in the fall of 1995.)
