"investigative" or
"operative" files kept by the
KGB on foreign prisoners at
Vladimir which were trans-
ferred to the KGB in
Moscow.
Evidence therefore points
to the KGB offices as the
probable source of a
"smoking gun" which will
uncover more about the ex-
act fate of Mr. Wallenberg if
the files there are ever
allowed to be viewed.
Two additional findings
were deemed "incredulous"
and "astounding" by the
commission.
The first was the KGB's
assertion that in 1988 it
found items belonging to Mr.
Wallenberg "by accident"
when his family visited
Moscow.
After claiming for 32 years
that they had no knowledge
of his whereabouts, the KGB
found, supposedly by chance,
such items as Mr.
Wallenberg's passport,
prison registration card and
money.
Under the Soviet system,
such belongings are
classified in separate files.
The commission found it
difficult to believe that all of
the separate files were un-
covered simultaneously by
accident.
The disclosure by the
Soviet procurator general
that it opened its first file on
Mr. Wallenberg only in 1988
and promptly closed it did
not rest well with the com-
mission.
`The rationale offered by
the procurator general was
that it lacked authority to in-
vestigate in the absence of a
"criminal case — where
there had been no trial, no
judgment, no sentence."
But it is the responsibility
of that office to investigate
the "legality of confine-
ment." The commission
believed therefore that the
procurator general not only
had the authority but the
responsibility of in-
vestigating a case of im-
prisonment without trial,
judgment or sentence.
The recent trip to the
Soviet Union represented
only the beginning phase of
the investigation.
The Soviet component of
the commission will con-
tinue archival investigation
and interviews with prison
personnel. The international
group is presently studying
the computerized data and
cross-referencing informa-
tion.
