Intelligence Directorate (Cuba)
Cuba's main intelligence agency
About
The Intelligence Directorate (Spanish: Dirección de Inteligencia, DI), commonly known as G2 and formerly named Dirección General de Inteligencia (DGI), is the main state intelligence agency of the Government of Cuba. It was founded in 1961 by Cuba's Ministry of the Interior, shortly after the Cuban Revolution. The DI is responsible for foreign intelligence and comprises six divisions divided into two categories: the Operational Division and the Support Division.
Manuel "Redbeard" Piñeiro was the first director of the DI in 1961 and his term lasted until 1964. Another top leader who directed the famous office, located on Linea and A. Vedado, was the now retired Div. General Jesús Bermúdez Cutiño. He was transferred from being the chief of the Army Intelligence (DIM) to the Ministry of Interior, after the corruption trials and executions of Arnaldo Ochoa and José Abrantes Fernández, in 1989.
