On the Scene: Return of the Godfather

Madrid

IN OUR last episodes (see NR, Dec. 18, 1991, and Dec. 28, 1992), Godfather Fidel was secretly protecting fugitive financier Robert Vesco while contriving drugtrafficking accusations against his own army officers in order to deflect DEA investigations into his regime. General Ochoa and 13 other Cuban officers who had loyally served in Africa and Central America were being shot by firing squad or condemned to life in dungeons while Vesco was drinking champagne on board General Noriega’s visiting yacht and driving to meetings with top Castro officials in Mercedes limousines.
