HAVANA, May 31 (Xinhua) -- Cuban former Leader Fidel Castro on
Sunday responded to the decision of a U.S. court in favor of a
Cuban-American who has involved in the murder of prominent revolutionary
figure Ernesto "Che" Guevara.

In his "Reflections" entitled "The Justice in the U.S." published
by local press, Castro said that the sentence of giving one billion U.S.
dollars to the Cuban-American was "the biggest one given, to the moment,
against the Cuban government."

The sentence made by a Miami court Friday came in a lawsuit filed
by Gustavo Villoldo for the suicide of his father in 1959. Villoldo
blamed a group of people, including Castro, Guevara and other Cuban
leaders, for the death of his father.

The judge acknowledged that Villoldo's father was forced to commit
suicide by being threatened and tortured.

The plaintiff side said they would try to satisfy the judgment by
searching for Cuban government assets around the world.

Castro recalled that Villoldo's father, a successful businessman,
"took his life with an overdose of somniferous" shortly after the
guerilla took power in Cuba.

Villoldo had fled to the United States along with his family and
joined the U.S. Army and the Central Intelligence Agency. He took part
in the capture and murder of Guevara in Bolivia in 1967.
