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.
