My Unit specifically handles inter-agency coordination of FOIPA matters involving FBI documents and/or FBI equities. We received a referral from INTERPOL Washington that pertains FBI documents originating and/or derived from 31E-NY-3027571. A copy of the FBI documents in question has been attached for your information. Due to the fact that the FBI documents originate and/or are derived from a pending investigation, please answer the following questions: • What is the current status of the pending investigation (e.g., investigation is ongoing, awaiting U.S. Attorney decision to prosecute, trial is pending, an appeal from the trial is pending, etc.)? • Can we acknowledge that the investigation is pending or would this jeopardize the investigation? • Will releasing the FBI documents cause harm with the pending investigation or any other pending investigation? Your assistance with regards to this matter is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Government Information Specialist WPU-RMD-RIDS RSC 02 ICRC Classification: UNCLASSIFIED EFTA00173731
