Editing American International Underwriters Corporation (section)

==Europe and Latin America:==
AIU’s underwriting in Europe and Latin America, as part of AIG’s global network, placed it in regions where the CIA conducted covert actions, such as Italy (Operation Gladio, Williams, 2015, p. 82) and Chile (Prelude to Terror, Trento, 2005, p. 47). The New York Times article on commercial cover notes CIA operatives in banking and import-export firms in these areas.

Greenberg’s Leadership: Maurice R. Greenberg, AIG’s CEO from 1967 to 2005, expanded AIU’s global reach, particularly in Asia. His ties to U.S. foreign policy elites (e.g., Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission) and the Center for the National Interest suggest influence in strategic circles.
Conclusion The American International Underwriters Corporation, as part of AIG, was a major global insurer with operations in regions of U.S. strategic interest, making it a candidate for CIA commercial cover. AIU’s operations align with regions of CIA activity, and the OSS precedent is makes it plausible.
