Commando Operations

December 1958* to unknown date

A former AVENSA Commando was purchased by Motilon in December 1958 and used to smuggle weapons to Fidel Castro. Motilon was represented at the time by former Venezualan Navy Captain Hector Abdelnour Mussa, and the company was probably used as a front by the Venezuelan government.
