This same person says that the employer “is being treated by an department that deals with the VIP,” the renowned personalities involved in some police investigation. The authorities, who immediately reported the arrest of a “foreign citizen resident in the country” as responsible for the outrage, have so far kept nationality and name. “It will not cost you to find someone to blame,” says the source of this newspaper.

“He could not manage an argument with one of our neighbors, so he put on a couple of stripes and went out to harm.”

To the protection of which Berto Savina alluded, also under condition of anonymity, a neighbor of El Vedado, where the ex -wife of the businessman has her house and where she heard this fight aloud just before taking the Red Audi that she threw over several passers -by through the streets of Centro Habana. “They take care of it so much because there must be something,” this neighbor speculated, without knowing reliably from man’s connections.

“He could not manage an argument with one of our neighbors, so he put on a couple of stripes and went out to harm,” he told this newspaper. If he could execute that action, he ensures the same source, it is because it was known. “It is the second time that this guy makes a massive run over in Cuba,” he says, although 14ymedio He has not been able to confirm this antecedent.

Another nearby resident corroborates the testimony of the strong fight: “I don’t know if with a neighbor or someone from his house, but everyone heard him.” In the neighborhood he was known “for being a drug consumer.”
