MIAMI, United States. — Cuban activists in exile on Tuesday rebuked spokesman Humberto López, who is taking part in the trial taking place in London against the Banco Nacional de Cuba (BNC) and the Castro regime for non-payment of debts.
López arrived at the court together with Rodolfo Dávalos Fernández, who serves as President of the Cuban Society of Commercial Law and President of the Cuban Court of International Commercial Arbitration.
“Humberto López, you are going to pay, you are going to pay,” said the activists, who held a peaceful demonstration in front of the building where the second day of the oral hearing is taking place.
The demonstrators also rejected the arrival of the lawyer Lourdes Dávalos, daughter of Rodolfo Dávalos, from the Spanish law firm Uría Menéndez.
The 38-year-old jurist arrived at the court carrying a Louis Vuitton brand bag and received numerous criticisms from the exiles.
“What are they spending the money on? People are starving in Cuba. Long live Free Cuba! Homeland and Life!” exclaimed the protesters.
The Cuban regime is facing a demand for 72 million euros filed in 2018 by the British company CRF I Limited, described by Havana as a “vulture fund.”
Given the financial ruin facing the Cuban regime, the island’s authorities agreed to send a delegation to the trial. The alibi presented this time by Castroism has been the unauthorized signature of officials of the Central Bank of Cuba who would have operated on their own, a version that has been questioned by experts.
In an interview offered to CubaNet Last week, the economist Elías Amor argued that it is difficult to think of the participation of Cuban officials in these operations without first having received orders from the top brass of the Cuban regime.
