LETTER FROM DET. LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT ZVONKO PAVELIĆ TO US ATTORNEY STUART BASKIN WHO PROSECUTED CROATIAN TEN

Assistant U.S. Attorney

Southern District of New York

Dear Mr. Baskin:

    On April 7, 1982. I was served a defense subpoena from the Soutern District of New York to appear in your city on April 12, 1982 to testify in the above case. On the same day I informed my supervisor (Mr. L. Robert of this subpoena.

    On April 9, 1982. in compliance with LAPD Manual I completed form 15.7 notifying my superiors in writing of the above information. In that 15.7 the department was advised that I had, in 1978, been asked by PDID (Public Disorder Intelligence Division) to assist them in investigating terrorist activities in the greater Los Angeles area. For the record, I wish to advise you also that my activities centered around providing background information on the overall problems involving Croatian and Yugoslav activities. I was instrumental in translating documents from Croatian to English and I interviewed several suspects for PDID.

    On April 13, 1982. (while in N.Y.) I spoke to Detective L. Robert and eas informed that my commanding officer (Cpt. Kozak) wanted to find out as to what my testimony would center around. I had informed det. Roberts that my 15.7 indicated the nature of my testimony and that i didn’t know for sure as to what questions I would testify to.

    On April 14, 1982. Det. Robert called again and advised me that LAPD manual clearly states that I must to notify the prosecutor in person of my defense subpoena. Because of this latest information from Det. Robert on April 15, 1982. I personally approached you in court and told you of my appearance pursuant to the subpoena. Your reply was “I’d like to meet with you later.” Outside the courtroom I was stopped by Det. Dale (NYPD) who advised me that you wanted to meet with me to discuss my testimony at 1800 hours. Det. Dale also indicated that he had been in touch with Capt. Kozak, who is my commanding officer. Later in the afternoon Det. Cassidy notified me that he would be present at the interview with you because Det. Dale’s wife was involved in a traffic accident. Det. Cassidy asked that I agree to meet with you without the presence of any defense counsel. I informed det. Casidy that I would be more comfortable if my wife and Mr. Dennis Roberts (who had subpoenaed me) were present as I had nothing to hide. I agreed to the meeting which was mutually rescheduled for 1030 hours on April 16, 1982.

    On April 15, 1982. at 21 hours I received another call from det. Robert and at that time I learned that the manual had been misinterpreted and taht there was no requirement that I personally meet with you to discuss my testimony.

    Based on this information I wish to inform you that I respectfully decline to meet with you. Furthermore, I feel very strongly that the pressure to meet you (which comes jointly from your office and my department) is designed to intimidate me from testifying as a defense witness. My testimony will be given under oath in open court and will not be pre-screened by your office or anyone else.

Very truly yours,

Det. Z.G.Pavelic

Pismo det. Los Angelesa LAPD Zvonke Pavelića US javnom tužitelju Stuart Baskinu protiv hrvatske deseorke 15 travnja 1982. Za hrvatsko općinstvo i za povijest općenito ovdje se treba pojasniti što se ne zna, a to je da se je US javni tužitelj gosp. Stuart Baskin služio svim mogućim sredstvima da onemogući saslušanje, svjedočenje i bilo kakovo ispitivanje detektiva hrvatskog podrijetla Zvonka Pavelića, jer je on znao da det. Zvonko Pavelić ima i posjeduje mnoge dokumente koji bi parnicu protiv hrvatske desetorke okrenulo prema drugim smjerovima. Tu mu je uveliko pomogla i LAPD – Los Angeles Police Department – tako da su pritiskli sa svih strana det. Zvonka Pavelića da odustane od svjedočenja. Njega, Zvonka Pavelića je pozvao moj odvjetnik Denis Roberts (prilažem sliku iz kasnijih dana Dennisa Roberts) da iznese sve one podatke pred porotu o jugoslavenskoj udbaškoj uroti protiv Hrvata, poimenice Krešo Šimović i Slobodan Radić koji su potajno šurovali sa Frankom Striškovićem kako ubiti Ranka Primorca i Milana Ražova u Los Angelesu i Milu Bobana u San Francisca. Taj razgovor sa Frankom Striškovećem i ovom dvojicom je potajno snimljen a Zvonko Pavelić je imao tu vrpcu koju je htio na sudu pred porotom pokazati, tako da se zna istina..

Pošto sam bio tu, na tom sudu i sve iz bliza pratio i uočio kako je sudkinja Constance Baker Motley u nekoliko navrata pozivala javnog tužitelja Stuart Baskina i odvjetnike obrane da dođu u njezin ured koji se je nalazio odmah iza stola njenih leđa. Tu u toj zatvorenoj sobi nije bilo službenog reportera koji je zapisivao svaku izgovorenu riječ, tako da se javno ne zna šta se je tu zatvorenoj sobi govorilo, ali se zna šta se je tu zaključilo, a to je da Zvonko Pavelić ne može svjedočiti. kada su se povratili iz zatvorene sobe, sudkinja se je odmah okrenula, njoj na lijevu stranu poroti i rekla oko prilike ovako: Sve što je det. Pavelić govorio ne uzima se u obzir i poništava se iz sudskog zapisnika, što znači ne može se koristiti kao vjerodostojan sudski dokaz. Eto, sad i to znamo odakle je vjetar puhao, što bi moglo značiti: TKO JAČI TAJ TABAČI. To nam svjedoči i ovo pismo detektiva Zvonka Pavelića. Prilažem još jednu sliku mojeg odvjetnika Dennis Robetrs-a (lijevi sa bradom i naočalima koji je skoro takav izgledao na mojem sudu u New Yorku) koji je branio Amerikog Indijanca Dennis Banks. Dennis Banks je bio American Indian Civil Rights Leader
