⚠️⚠️Supremo de EE.UU. favorece a Exxon en demanda contra CIMEX por bienes confiscados en Cuba
La Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos emitió este martes un fallo favorable a ExxonMobil en su disputa judicial contra la empresa estatal cubana CIMEX, al determinar que las entidades cubanas demandadas bajo el Título III de la Ley Helms-Burton no pueden invocar inmunidad soberana para bloquear este tipo de procesos.
La decisión, adoptada por seis votos contra tres, elimina uno de los principales obstáculos legales que enfrentaban ciudadanos y compañías estadounidenses para reclamar compensaciones por propiedades nacionalizadas por el régimen de Fidel Castro tras la revolución de 1959.
El litigio se remonta a una refinería, terminales petroleras, plantas de envasado y más de un centenar de estaciones de servicio pertenecientes a Exxon, confiscadas por el Gobierno cubano en 1960. La petrolera sostiene que esos activos han sido explotados posteriormente por CIMEX y la estatal CUPET.
The situation in Cuba is devolving as the island’s corrupt, brutal and anti-American Communist regime continues to prioritize its own total control over the freedom, opportunity and basic wellbeing of the Cuban people.
The Cuban military-controlled conglomerate GAESA has persistently served as the main vector for regime elites to steal the island’s few resources, diverting them for repression, anti-American subversion and spying instead of schools, power plants, and basic necessities for the Cuban people. Today, I designated additional GAESA network entities associated with moving both its money and its physical assets, as well as entities responsible for exploiting Cuba’s mineral and metal reserves for ill-gotten profit.
