Could Prince Alejandro Castro really be involved in drug trafficking? And is it possible that the Ministry of Social Justice knows about it and has done nothing about it? Come, on, Mildred. You know better than to ask such questions. Diario de Cuba has just posted a lengthy article filled with details. See for yourself.
Loosely translated from Diario de Cuba
In 2014, Cuban-Americans Enrique Anicio Artiles Mata and Elvis Artiles Martin (father and son) were arrested and accused of drug trafficking in the United States. In Cuba, where they frequently traveled, they had family and friendship ties with five citizens, who a year later were prosecuted for money laundering and document forgery, along with another resident in the U.S.
In that trial, held at the Provincial Court of Cienfuegos, the name of Alejandro Castro Soto del Valle, one of the sons of the late dictator Fidel Castro, was mentioned several times, as seen in the recording of the oral hearing, of which Diario de Cuba reveals exclusive images.
The charges against the citizens residing in Cuba, Esbel Morejón Sánchez, Fausto Lázaro López Soler del Castillo, Elbis Blanco Mata, Jorge Luis Araujo López, and Odalis Sabina Martín Cuéllar, were based on their involvement in the purchase of a house and a car for Artiles Mata and Artiles Martin, and in managing their money in Cuba.
Maikel Omar Morejón Mata, who also lived in the U.S. and refused to testify in the trial, was accused of being responsible for counting and packaging the money collected by Artiles Mata and Artiles Martin from drug trafficking.
The accusation against the residents in Cuba argued that they should have known, or at least suspected, that the money for the house, car, and other transactions had not been obtained legally.
Alejandro Castro Soto del Valle Comes to Light
In response to these accusations, the defendants presented a strong reason why it had not crossed their minds that Artiles Martin or Artiles Mata were involved in illegal activities: Enrique Anicio Artiles Mata had connections in Cuba with high-ranking officials of the Ministry of the Interior (MININT) and the government, including Alejandro Castro Soto del Valle.
In his testimony, the accused Esbel Morejón Sánchez stated that, through Artiles Mata, during his trips to Cuba, he had met “officials and even high-ranking officials from both the MININT (Ministry of the Interior) and the FAR (Revolutionary Armed Forces).”
“I met Alejandro Castro (Soto) del Valle, son of the commander-in-chief, Fidel Castro. He even visited my house once and sold Enrique a Toyota jeep… an exclusive olive-green model. Enrique and he had a very good relationship,” emphasized Morejón Sánchez during the trial.

Funny, but he looks like Mayorkas. Not quite as freakish, but close enough.
