Juanita Castro, Who Turned
Against Her Brother Fidel, Dies at 90
She was originally a supporter
of the uprising
that brought her brother to
power.
But she grew disillusioned,
worked undercover for the C.I.A.
and later fled the island.

Juana de la
Caridad Castro Ruz 1933-2023
aka Juanita
Castro
Sister of Fidel
and Raúl Castro
who turned
against her brothers
and their
regime,
became a CIA
informer
and sought exile
in the US
Juanita Castro,
one of the
younger sisters
of the
revolutionary Cuban leaders
Fidel and Raúl
Castro,
was initially
active in her brothers’
struggle against
the US-backed
Batista regime.
However,
she turned
against them soon
after they came
to power in 1959.
According to her
2009 memoir,
Fidel and Raúl
Mis Hermanos:
La Historia Secreta,
co-written
with
María Antonieta Collins,
Juanita began to
collaborate
with the CIA from 1961,
as it made
attempts
to overthrow the Castro regime.
Coming from a
traditional
Catholic
background,
without the
educational opportunities
of her brothers,
Juanita,
(...)
had become
openly hostile
to the
ever-radicalising revolution.
Prior to the CIA
involvement
she opened a
boarding house
in the wealthy
Havana suburb of Miramar
to protect
people
who had fallen
foul of the regime,
as well as to
prepare them
for the flight
into exile.
Everyone knew
of her
counter-revolutionary activities,
but she was
protected
by the presence
in the house of her
– and her
brothers’ – mother, Lina.
After the Bay of
Pigs invasion
by Cuban exiles
in April 1961,
when Juanita was
using her influence
to secure the
release from prison
of several
acquaintances,
she was
approached
by her friend
Virginia Leitão da Cunha,
the wife of the
Brazilian ambassador
in Havana,
who suggested
that she might find
this
humanitarian work easier
if she were to
be supported by the CIA.
Juanita flew to
Mexico City that June,
where she was
interviewed
by Tony Sforza,
the organiser of
Operation Mongoose,
a CIA project
designed,
according to
President
John F Kennedy’s directive,
“to help the
people of Cuba
overthrow the
communist regime
in Cuba from
within Cuba”.
Juanita was the
project’s
first recruit.
With the
codename Donna,
she returned to
Havana,
where a
short-wave transmitter
was installed in
her house.
Playing
Marchetti’s
Fascination Waltz indicated
that an
important message
might be expected,
while Puccini’s
Madame Butterfly
suggested that there was
no news.
She continued
her work of
rescuing people
from prison,
but she came to
the notice
of the Cuban
intelligence services.
When Lina died
in 1963,
Juanita’s
protection also disappeared.
Raúl visited her
with a large
folder
containing an
account
of her misdemeanours,
and she felt
that this was a
warning
she could not ignore.
She arrived in
Mexico in June 1964,
creating
headlines around the world
when she
attacked
her brother’s government.
Juanita settled
into a typical
exile life in Miami,
feted by some
and attacked by others.
For five years,
she continued to
enjoy
the support of
the CIA.
But the
inauguration
of President
Richard Nixon in 1969
led to a change
of emphasis
in US policy.
Anxious to
promote detente
with the Soviet
Union,
the Americans
agreed
to downplay
their anti-Cuban propaganda,
while the
Russians promised
to use their
best effort
to persuade Fidel
to abandon the
armed struggle
in Latin
America.
