Dear John, Alas I have to give you some not so happy news. On further googling through, I notice that Agente Monteiro's full name was Casimiro Emérito Rosa Teles Jordão Monteiro. Since you mentioned that your father also had the names Teles and Jordao besides Casimiro, this cannot be co-incidental.
Please see: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Casimiro+Monteiro+PIDE&fr=yie7c Apparently CM as an inspector in PIDE reported to Rosa Casaco and under his orders was the actual shooter of General Humberto Delgado and his Brazilian secretary. For a history of Delgado, see Wikipedia. There is much written about CM in the link above. If you need to translate the Portuguese into English, I can help you with the aid of Babelfish and the little Portuguese I know to put it into decent understandable English. However, I hope you can get a better translator to do this for you. As Frederick mentioned, you are not responsible for your father's actions and I commend you heartily for trying to put the ghosts of your past to rest. Roland.
