| Member of | Le Cercle, Stauffenberg Service |
Aristide Brunello was a Vatican prelate. At the same time, he was a spy/agent of influence in the Vatican on behalf of West-German interests.
His participation in Le Cercle presumably was connected to his Vatican (intelligence) work in Eastern Europe.
Spy for Gehlen's BND in the Vatican
He became a BND agent in Operation Eva, a West-German intelligence attempt to infiltrate the Vatican executive apparatus[2]. For the price of 2500 D-Mark, he spied for the BND from 1964 onwards, under the agent name Eva-901, concentrating on Italy, Eastern Europe and South East Asia. Given "his special importance", he received a 20,000 D-Mark bonus for his services in 1967, formally for the book The Silent Church he wrote 13 years earlier, but in fact to pay gambling debts.[3]
He was a member of the Italian Catholic Association for the Christian Orient, working on wooing the Orthodox Churches.
Brunello later worked for the 'private' West-German intelligence service the Stauffenberg-Dienst, connected to the CDU party when it was in opposition, and financed by (mostly Bavarian) conservative industrialists figures.[4]
