MAL1940 Tgb. Mr.: 4975 To the following secret report of the SD of 5 May 1940 May l940 concerning Riccoboni: I will first check whether the past of the press attaché Riccoboni material is in the files of the former Czechoslovak Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The named one now endeavours to forget his past and to follow up on the representation of the foreign office. He repeatedly asserts that he has always been German-friendly and opposed to the Czechs, although he owns a Czech woman. He has provided the Italian Consulate General with the many Czech connections. I did not notice a large number of Czechs at any consul at social events, as was the case in the Italian Consulate General. This is also true for the cocktail party, which Mr Caruso gave on 9 May 1994o on the occasion of the Abyssinian annual day. All the members of the cabinet of the President of the Minister had appeared and the Czechs were in the number. SS-Obersturmbannführer Böhme has kept a copy.
