MIAMI (Reuters) – A former CIA operative who says he helped hunt down Ernesto “Che” Guevara and bury him in Bolivia 40 years ago now hopes to make a killing from the famed Argentine revolutionary’s hair.
Gustavo Villoldo, 71, a Cuban exile who says he was a major player in Guevara’s capture in the Bolivian jungle, plans to auction off a strand of Guevara’s hair and other items, kept in a scrapbook since the joint CIA-Bolivian army mission ended in Guevara’s death in 1967.
“I’m doing it for history’s sake and to have closure. This is a very unique piece,” Villoldo said of his scrapbook.
