Accused of taking weapons to Cuba on a jet ski, he was charged in the US with a human trafficking offense.

Ardenys García Álvarez, recently presented by the Cuban regime as a key figure in a supposed terrorist plan against the country, had previously been prosecuted in the United States for the crime of human trafficking.

The revelation, omitted by the report on Cuban Television where they supposedly tried to convince about the alleged terrorist attack, was made by the television network Telemundo, which had access to federal records placing García Álvarez at the center of a federal criminal investigation in Texas.

The charges listed on this document, which CiberCuba also had access to, are not directly related to those the regime is accusing this Cuban emigrant of.

However, it is worth asking about the omission of this data in its supposed "revealing report" and presented to its viewers after an "exhaustive investigation."

Accused of "conspiracy to transport and harbor migrants," along with four other individuals, Ardenys has documentation, which remains sealed, in the United States Federal Court.

This file, whose investigation was carried out between September 2021 and May 2023, in New Mexico and Texas, reveals that those involved were managing a network for transporting foreigners within the U.S., in total violation of the immigration laws governing that country.

Ardenys García Álvarez, 40 years old, originally from Cienfuegos, was identified by Havana as a detainee who illegally entered Cuba carrying weapons, with the intention of subverting the social order, through an action "organized and financed by a group of Cuban terrorists based in the U.S.".

García Álvarez had left the country illegally in 2014 and had been residing in the United States since then. He had criminal records for crimes of speculation and theft with force when leaving the island.

In his statements broadcast on national television by Cuban Television, Ardenys positioned himself as one of the three shooters of the alleged plan. Meanwhile, the leader of the group would be Willy González, along with Jorge Luis Fernández Figueras, who uses the pseudonym "el Lobo".

González, who is the leader of the organization "The New Cuban Nation in Arms," denied, from the city of Orlando, where he resides, any involvement in an armed operation on the island.

"Our organization provides military training, but not for subversive purposes," González stated in an interview with Telemundo 51, where he mentioned that he does not recall ever meeting Ardenys García Álvarez.

"We have not conducted any operation in Cuba, and we are not aware of any operation or know anything about what they are talking about," said Willy González.

Willy González stated that "The New Cuban Nation in Arms" does not have plans that involve violating the laws of the United States, although they do wish to be prepared in the event of an armed uprising in Cuba.
