The prosecutor requested penalties ranging between 20 and 30 years in prison for the accused, a man and two women, who acted incited and financed from the United States, corresponding to the degree of responsibility and aggravating circumstances.

In the public trial it was determined that the accused were responsible for acts committed using lethal explosive devices, chemical or biological agents and other means or substances, as well as enemy propaganda. Both violations of the law, which are included in the Penal Code and anti-terrorist legislation, were carried out on a continuous basis, and planned in advance.

Last year, the accused threw several Molotov cocktails against the room where the archives of the Popular Court of the municipality of Centro Habana were kept, and against the provincial headquarters of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution, where they injured one person. They also placed counter-revolutionary posters on several entities, according to the report.

The main defendant revealed in statements to national television that he was sponsored by Willy González, a United States resident, to whom he sent photos proving the execution of the actions.

The perpetrators stated that their financiers promised to take care of their families if they were captured through a contingency fund set for that purpose, which did not happen.

The investigations confirmed the illicit payment made via mobile data recharges and digital money transferred to the perpetrators’ phones. Four residents in Miami were identified as the instigators of these actions, targetted to destabilizing the country.
