Castro verneint $ 900 Mio.-Besitz
Laut Reuters verneint Fidel Castro eine Forbes-Story, wonach er ein persönliches Vermögen von rund 900 Millionen Dollar angehäuft habe. Castros Wortlaut:
«If they can prove that I have a bank account abroad, with $900 million, with $1 million, $500,000, $100,000 or $1 in it, I will resign,» he said at the end of a four-hour broadcast.Forbes schreibt:
Former Cuban officials insist Castro, who travels exclusively in a fleet of black Mercedes, has skimmed profits from these outfits for years. To come up with a net worth figure, we use a discounted cash flow method to value these companies and then assume a portion of that profit stream goes to Castro. To be conservative, we don’t try to estimate any past profits he may have pocketed, though we have heard rumors of large stashes in Swiss bank accounts. Castro, for the record disagrees, insisting his personal net worth is zero.
