Among those organizations, a body rarely mentioned before in such activities: the Fundación Rescate Jurídico, stirred up attention. A journalistic investigation reported on for the Roundtable by Lázaro Barredo Medina, editor of Granma, revealed that Rescate Jurídico Inc. was registered with the state of Florida as a "non-profit organization", headed by Santiago Alvarez Fernández Magriñat.
One fact that speaks volumes is that the date of its registration is listed as June 24, 2005 - one month after the arrest of Luis Posada Carriles in U.S. territory and six weeks after Fidel denounced Alvarez Fernández Magriñat for smuggling into the United States the terrorist responsible for the Cubana airliner sabotage, aboard the Satrina, a boat belonging to another of his foundations, the so-called Caribe.
Another clarification: the Rescate Jurídico Inc. state registration document indicates that a substantial portion of its funding comes from governmental sources.
Barredo recalled that using agencies, foundations, corporations and businesses as cover for channeling funds intended for subversive activities in Cuba has been a regular practice among counterrevolutionaries encouraged by successive U.S. administrations.
Examples of this process can be seen in the role played by the USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development) and NED (National Endowment for Democracy), which between 1993 and 1999, funded more than 300 and 60 anti-Cuban groups and projects, respectively.
