1. (S/NF) On Friday November 7, 2008 Croatian National
Antonio Coratti called the Embassy to say he had information
about the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden and requested a
meeting at the Embassy. Coratti arrived at the Embassy and
presented Croatian passport number 001104029, issued 06 Aug
2002, as a means of identification. Coratti was thoroughly
screened by LGF and interviewed by the RSO and visiting
A/Legatt from Sarajevo. Coratti stated that his
ex-girlfriend, Anna Di Giusto, had business dealings in
Switzerland with one of Bin Laden's brothers but she thinks
this person is really Osama Bin Laden. Coratti stated that Di
Giusto told him Bin Laden is now clean shaven and has adopted
a "European" appearance. He provided no further information
about Bin Laden and no reason why Di Giusto has this
suspicion.


2. (S/NF) Record checks conducted by RSO and RAO revealed no
record for Coratti and Di Giusto. Coratti seemed to be of
sound mind but he may have a grudge against Di Giusto and
wants attention drawn to her for unknown reasons. Attempts
to contact Di Giusto were unsuccessful. After the interview,
Coratti exited the Embassy without incident.
