Cuba faces legal challenge over Castro-era debt
CUBA is facing a legal challenge in London’s High Court this week over unpaid government debt from the 1980s.
The eight-day case began on Monday and was brought by investment firm CRF I Ltd.
The firm claims it is owed €72 million (£64m) on two loans granted to Cuba by European banks during Fidel Castro’s administration and denominated in deutschmarks.
