Viewing cable 06QUITO658, BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: PRE-LICENSE END USE CHECK ON

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number.

APPLICATION 05-989811 
 
REF: STATE 26902 
 
ΒΆ1.  (U)  Embassy offices found no incriminating evidence on 
RefTel user, David Rolando Hurtado.  RSO law enforcement 
sources did, however, confirm that Mr. Hurtado's firearms 
dealer license expired on February 3, 2006; they found no 
evidence that he was in the process of renewing it.  Local 
law enforcement officials also confirmed that Mr. Hurtado was 
no longer located at the address provided on the RefTel 
application.  His new location, which is a small restaurant, 
is 232 Larga Street, Cuenca, Azuay province.  Police believe 
that he may now be illegally selling firearms.  Given this 
information, the Embassy recommends denial of his application.
