The sentence came down Monday: Spanish Partido Popular activist Angel
Carromero, who drove the car that crashed and killed dissidents Oswaldo Paya
and Harold Cepero, got four years for vehicular homicide (Los
Angeles Times, Miami
Herald).
El Pais reports that Spain’s foreign ministry “received the news with
moderate satisfaction” and hopes to negotiate Carromero’s prompt return to
Spain, possibly to serve all or part of his sentence there. A 1998 accord between Spain and Cuba allows for
convicts to serve their sentences in their home country when both governments agree.

four years seems a bit high, but hopefully the spanish govt can now negotiate with cuba to have him serve the time in spain. seems like the matter should now be over. and whatever happened to those emails some from the Paya side said they had that showed the car was being knocked off the road by security agents? a tragedy that should have never been politicized, but just another example of the unrelenting propaganda the cuban govt faces.
