Cuba’s communist regime spies on everyone, friends and foes alike, in search of not only information it can use for itself, but to destabilize and foment violent uprisings to destroy democracy.

Cuban intelligence network in Spain uncovered
Madrid’s ABC newspaper revealed on Monday that the Cuban government allegedly maintains an intelligence network in Spain run by Armando Guerra Funcasta, who enjoys diplomatic immunity as the First Secretary of the Cuban embassy in Madrid. He is in charge of political functions and is involved with more than 50 emigrant associations tied to radical leftist political parties and organizations in Cataluña and Pais Vasco.
Guerra Funcasta arrived in Madrid in February 2020 from Chile, where he was also the first secretary of the Cuban embassy. There he was exposed by the Chilean press and anti-Castro opposition members as an instigator of violent street protests against the government of Sebastian Piñera.
A former official of Cuba’s Military Intelligence Directorate (DIM), who now resides in Europe and asked not to be identified ,told CiberCuba that he does not know Guerra Funcasta, but remembers that “Chile is one of the other priority objectives for Cuban espionage to insert and recruit agents, especially Cubans with Chilean passports, to facilitate their movement around the world.”
The fall of the Wasp Network caused them to recognize the “huge error in sending spies to foreign countries with false identities” and since then, Cuba has changed its tactics and is now sending “officials and agents with their real identities into countries like Chile, where they can become citizens,” he said.
The second in command of Cuba’s alleged intelligence network in Spain would be Alfredo Catala Sole, who is the representative of ICAP in Spain. Under him are Gustavo de la Torre Morales and Ana Posada Lee, the heads of the Federation of Cuban Residents in Spain Associations (FACRE), which maintain “fluid and constant” relations with the CUP, United and Alternative Esquerra (EUiA), and the Committees for the Defense of the Republic (CDR), reports the conservative and pro-monarchy Spanish newspaper.
