Italian businessman lives in house taken from Cuban

HAVANA, December 18 (Ernesto Roque, Grupo Decoro / www.cubanet.org) Carlos Manuel Amargos Expósito has spent the last 36 years fighting the government for his house, which he says was taken from him illegally. Now, he says, an Italian businessman lives in it, while he lives in a miserable little room with his family.

Amargos says he and his family were evicted from the house, No. 712 20th Street, in Reparto Siboney, in 1965 by Interior Ministry officials Noelia Silva Fonseca and Calixto Enamorado.

Sometime after that, Silva was found to be engaged in the illegal sale of houses. Nonetheless, Amargos says he was declared an illegal occupant of his own house, as recorded in Resolution 1202 of 1965 Amargos says the house is now occupied by Italian businessman Mauro Casagrande, a former officer of Cuban Intelligence who once infiltrated the CIA.

Casagrande is the owner of a dollar store located at the corner of Prado and Neptuno, in central Havana.

"It's a shame that I, a Cuban, have to live in a miserable little room, while the Italian lives in my house," said Amargos.
