Publisher's Synopsis
Between 1987 and 1989, the Cuban regime carried out one of the most chilling purges in its recent history. Ministers, generals, and high-ranking officials were arrested, humiliated, and in some cases, executed. The official narrative spoke of corruption and betrayal. The truth was far darker.
State Crime reveals-through names, dates, and documents-how Cuba's highest leadership was involved in international drug trafficking networks. From the halls of the Ministry of the Interior to secret agreements with the Medellín Cartel, this book dismantles the myth of an incorruptible revolution.
Through the case of General Arnaldo Ochoa, the De la Guardia brothers, José Abrantes, and other executed or silenced figures, the author exposes a repressive machine that did not hesitate to eliminate its own to protect the true culprits: the highest leaders of the country.
This is not a novel or an interpretation. It is a documented, direct, and unvarnished chronicle of how a state turned executions into a tool for political cover-up. An essential read for anyone seeking the truth behind power.
