Castro Sister Was CIA Spy – Juanita Castro, the sister of Fidel and Raúl Castro, worked with the CIA in the 1960s, while the agency was planning to assassinate Fidel and overthrow the revolutionary government.
In a new book, Juanita Castro, who now lives in Miami, reveals that she hid opponents of her brothers’ regime in her home and that their mother frequently interceded with Raúl to help political prisoners.
“The CIA wanted to talk with me,” she told reporters. “I was left half-shocked, but in any case I told them yes.”
When their mother died in 1963, Juanita Castro felt she lost some of her protection against her brothers’ regime, reports the Miami Herald.
According to her new book, it was her brother Raúl – who liked Juanita best of his four sisters – who obtained a visa for her to travel to Mexico the next year.
Juanita Castro quickly denounced the revolution in a news conference and made her way to the US, where she opened a pharmacy.
Her new book has been shipped in sealed boxes and kept under lock and key, similar to a new Harry Potter book release.
And that’s the latest news on Castro Sister Was CIA Spy.
