Fidel Castro's son gets tricked by exiled Cuban blogger online
A Cuban exiled blogger called Luis Dominguez has managed to penetrate the tight security shelter surrounding the Castro family by posing as a woman and chatting online with the son of ex-Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
Luis Dominguez said he posed as a 27-year old Columbian sports journalist named Claudia and began an online relationship with 42-year old Antonio Castro in order to 'highlight the opulent lifestyles' of the ruling Castro family, according to BBC.
I use whatever tools I have to be able to get back at these people. In Cuba people are put in prison for no reason at all. Their rights are violated... So, why can't I do the same thing to them? I have no remorse whatsoever, he said.
It is claimed that the 'relationship' lasted for eight months, during which Castro shared details of overseas trips with his uncle Raul, who took over as President when his elder brother stepped down.
Although the smitten Antonio confessed to Claudia that he loves her and details of his life in Cuba, it is believed he did not reveal any family or state secrets.
Domingquez said he will not apologize for violating Antonio Castro's privacy and says he has no regrets about what he did.
I'm a Cuban and I'm a Cuban American and I have not been able to go back to my country since 1971 when I left.
I use whatever tools I have to be able to get back at these people. In Cuba people are put in prison for no reason at all. Their rights are violated... So, why can't I do the same thing to them? I have no remorse whatsoever,” he adds.
Cuban authorities have not confirmed or commented on the online chats, but Dominquez says that Antonio is now considerably less chatty.
