Aldo Vera Serafin (c. 1933 – October 26, 1976)[1] was a Cuban exile[2] who was once a top police official for Prime Minister Fidel Castro. He later split with Castro.
Background
[edit]In January 1959, he was named head of the technical investigations department, the main intelligence organ of the Cuban police. Vera became disenchanted with communism and fled Cuba in 1961. On October 26, 1976, Vera was hit with two shots fired from an automobile in a suburb of San Juan, Puerto Rico,[3] as he was stepping out of a bakery on the way to a meeting with members of an anti-Castro political group. Serafin died almost immediately.[4] His death has never been officially been solved.[5]
