El Presidente Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Cuba: High-Ranking Official Is Missing By REUTERS Published: January 8, 2011 http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/08/world/am...riefs-Cuba.html The State Department has no information about the whereabouts of a leading Cuban government trade expert who Miami news reports said had fled, an American official said Friday. The newspaper El Nuevo Herald and several Cuban-American Web sites reported that Pedro Álvarez, 67, the former head of Cuba’s state food importing company, and a crucial figure in legal Cuban purchases of American farm products, had defected to the United States. Cuban authorities and state-run media made no mention of the reports from Miami, which said Mr. Álvarez had escaped last week and had been under investigation for corruption Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
