Juan Mendez (Jan. 7, 1986 Murder. Born in 1952). Fascist gun-lover who owned dozens of rifles and pistols. Arms merchant at Fabrique National (FJ) whose Peruvian predecessor fled Belgium after it was found out he worked for the CIA and was involved in the illegal arms and drug trade. Involved with the fascist underground since the late 1970s and was tested to be introduced to higher circles by Bouhouche.
Part of Bouhouche's group to some day conduct a terror-extortion campaign against warehouses. Interrogated several weeks before his murder about his connection to Douglas Stowell, a rich American who apparently was working for or with the CIA in Iran-Contra. One MP5 machine gun stolen from the Diana Group was found at his home after he was killed. Almost certainly murdered by Madani Bouhouche, who took order from Front de la Jeunesse and the Westland New Post ...
Bouhouche was suspected but never convicted for the murder on Juan Mendez on January 7, 1986. At the time, Mendez had been investigating who was responsible for stealing his large private gun collection and had begun pointing to Bouhouche as the main suspect. Bouhouche had a meeting with Mendez on the morning of January 7, was found in the evening of January 7 visiting Mendez' widow (leading to his arrest and him hiring the notorious Jean-Paul Dumont as his lawyer), and provided a fake alibi.
Furthermore, Mendez was killed with 9mm hollow point bullets, which were used by Bouhouche, and according to two different ballistic reports Bouhouche's gun had fired the bullets that were found in the head and chest of Mendez. However, the attorney of Bouhouche was able to come up with yet another (fraudulent) ballistic report that completely contradicted the earlier ones.
It apparently didn't matter that this report was written by a person named Claude Dery. Dery, who knew Bouhouche quite well, was a former member of SRA8 (NATO's Belgian Stay-Behind network); a member of the Practical Shooting Association; PIO, the private military intelligence group of de Bonvoisin and Vanden Boeynants; and orders like the Confrerie des Hospitaliers de Notre-Dame d'Aulne (with Jean Bougerol) and Milice (militia) de Jesus Christ. Mendez, by the way, was an arms merchant who had become involved in Iran-Contra (he claimed against his wishes).
Apparently, according to PV 21.467, Bouhouche, Beijer and Christian Amory (officer in the BOB; part of Bouhouche's group to some day conduct a terror-extortion campaign against warehouses; worked in the Walloon-Brabant cell that investigated the Gang of Nijvel; convicted in 2003, together with Baron Benoit de Bonvoisin and Pierre de Bonvoisin, for having forged KGB documents to prove a "vast left-wing conspiracy" against Benoit involving State Security) had been making plans to assassinate Dery for some unknown reason.
Starting in 1979, Mendez had been involved with a plan of Bouhouche to extort a number of warehouses through terrorist bombings. Robert Beijer (BOB), Christian Amory (BOB officer crucial in getting security plans of the warehouses) and Rene Chang Wei Ling (brother of an important BOB officer) were involved in this plan also. Jean Bultot has been named also. This plan never went through as Bouhouche was arrested in 1986 for the murder on Mendez.
Confronted with testimonies of Christian Amory, Bouhouche admitted to his interrogators that recruiting Mendez had been an assignment given to him by the WNP leadership and that there was a political motive behind the planned attacks. Bouhouche (and possibly Bultot) recruiting Mendez was part of an admission test for this person (although they declined, both Mendez and Beijer were later invited to join a secret group) (ISGP)
