(spook)
Member ofLe Cercle, Stauffenberg Service
Very little known Cercle visitor. He attended a meeting of the Le Cercle.[1]

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.

Brunello later worked for the 'private' West-German intelligence service the Stauffenberg-Dienst, connected to the CDU party when it was in opposition.[4]
