A group of anti-Castro activists wonders if spies may have stolen a laptop computer from their office during Hurricane Wilma. The office of the Cuban Liberty Council was not forcibly broken into and nothing was taken except for the Apple laptop. The burglary of the laptop seemed to have occured as Miami shut down in October, 2005 during Hurricane Wilma.
The laptop contained information about donors to the council, as well as the dissident groups in Cuba that receive the council’s contributions. The office building where the council has a suite had been closed for a week and it is unclear exactly what day the laptop was taken.
Recently, two Florida International University staffers were arrested for not registering as foreign agents and allegedly providing information about the exile community to Cuba.
‘’It could be a burglary like any that happens a thousand times in this city,'’ council president Ninoska Perez-Castellon said Thursday. “But there’s always the possibility when you hear about cases of Cuban spies.'’
