Aristide Brunello was a Vatican prelate and West-German spy.
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 especial importance", he received 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.
