HAVANA (AP) — The first member of a Cuban spy ring to walk free from prison in the United States thanked islanders Friday for their support during his 13 years behind bars and vowed to keep pushing for the release of the other four.
Rene Gonzalez, a 55-year-old dual U.S.-Cuban citizen who left a federal lockup in the Florida Panhandle on Oct. 7, spoke through a home video that was broadcast and rebroadcast on Cuban state television and government-run websites.
“It is truly difficult to address people who are so loved and who you feel a part of through a camera, but I had to communicate with you and say how grateful I am for everything,” Gonzalez said.

“Montes had no prior connection to Cuba; her parents were Puerto Rican, and her father was a U. S. Army officer,” Carmichael writes in True Believer. “She was born on a U. S. Army base in Germany and spent her high school years in Towson, Maryland—a home-grown agent if ever there was one.””
She is the one person I want to put a bullet in her skull for compromising what I was doing back in the day.
1. There is a 15% reduction in Federal sentence for good time...... seems she got out early. Oh and on January 6th....... no message sent with that release date. Would be interesting to see who championed her early release!
And Cuba still spies for Russia.
Thanks!
I’m always fascinated by the backstory of these spy cases. Interesting article.
