Missing in this article is the control the American Mafia had in Cuba. Castro closed all the gambling casinos as soon as he took power. Aging Movie Star, George Raft, was a shareholder in The Riviera in Havana, and he had to flee for his life back to America on New Year's night when Castro's rebels stormed The Riviera and other casinos. Raft lost his entire investment in The Riviera. The Mob (aka CIA today) wants back into Cuba to go back to the good old days in the 40s and 50s when they controlled Cuba with Fulgencio Batista as a partner.
