F. Castro has called “ridiculous” the spy scandal around Cuba

Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro has called “ridiculous” allegations against the ex-employee of the U.S. Department of State Kendall Myers and his wife of spying for Cuba.

The leader of the Cuban revolution, which for a long time does not appear in public, made this statement in an essay published in the Cuban press. He did not confirm or refute the information about the couple’s spying, but said that the spy scandal, that started against a Liberty Island is “laughable and comic.”

In his view, the scandal with the spies had been planned in order to destroy the emerging warming in relations between the U.S. and Cuba.

As reported before, former U.S. State Department officer K. Myers and his wife, Gwendolyn Steyngrabber Myers are accused of spying for Cuba. According to the indictment referred to the Prosecutor General of the United States, until retirement in 2007. K. Myers was a State Department staff, specializing in particular on issues of U.S. relations with European countries and has access to classified information.

The prosecution alleges, that during the 30 years the wife spied Myers vs. United States in favor of Cuba and in the course of this work has met with residents of the Cuban intelligence, and once even with the F. Castro. Reported that only in the last year of his work in the U.S. Department of State K. Myers reviewed more than 200 issues related to Cuba, and wearing neck “top secret”.
