Cuban exile in Miami believes Che Guevara’s remains still buried

MIAMI — A former CIA operative and Cuban exile is the latest to call the 1997 reburial of Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara a fraud, because he said the body of one of Fidel Castro’s closest friends is still in Bolivia.

Gustavo Villoldo, 71, said he has strands of faded hair that he snipped before burying Guevara’s body under a Bolivian airstrip in 1967. He believes the remains are likely still there, not in the official grave site in a Cuban mausoleum. DNA tests could confirm his theory, he said.

But Villoldo would also need Guevara’s relatives to come forward to confirm a DNA match, an unlikely possibility as most of his children are supportive of the Cuban government.

Villoldo was involved in Guevara’s capture in October 1967 in the jungles of Bolivia, according to unclassified U.S. records and other documents. He told The Miami Herald that he wrote down the burial coordinates and hopes one day to give them to Guevara’s family.

Since the Cuban government announced in 1995 that its anthropologists had uncovered Guevara’s remains from the Bolivian airstrip, some experts have raised doubts about the discovery. They question whether it was a public-relations stunt to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Guevara’s death.

That picture makes it look like Hugito is presenting Castro with an unmentionable item from a porn store. Sin verguenza.
