Two photos of a party at Alejandro Gil Fernández’s house, a former Minister of Economy who was dismissed for corruptionwas released recently, showing among the guests figures such as government spokesman Humberto López and singer Israel Rojas, from Buena Fe.
The photos were shared by journalist Mario J. Penton and researcher Luis Domínguez, from the Foundation for Human Rights in Cuba.
In one of the photos, Rojas can be seen with a beer in hand with the minister at the time and his son, Alejandro Arnaldo Gil, and Jorge Luis Perdomo Di-Lella, who was Minister of Communications until 2021 and is currently the Deputy Prime Minister. .
This is not the first confirmation that Rojas is very close to the person accused of official corruption, since Gil came to express his support for the Buena Fe group in mid-2023, after the musicians went against at concerts in Spain.
At that time, the official shared a photo of his granddaughter carried by the singer, with a text that confirmed that this was also Buena Fe, along with the hashtags #BuenaFeYo and #BuenaFeSomosAll.
The actions of Gil, who used a picture of his grandson to show support for the group, were criticized at the time by the Cuban community, pointing out that it was low to use a baby to get involved in politics.
Likewise, some users pointed out that the fact that the officer had photos of the singer with his grandson confirmed the allegations made against Buena Fe, as part of the reasons that his concerts began to be boycotted in the country of Iberia because of its proximity to the country. The Castro Dictatorship.
But no! Bad thing… And he says he has no relationship with the senior leadership, the more evidence they show, the more they push him… Good Faith, Israel Rojas = PCC

The second photo released shows Rojas and Humberto López posing with several members of Gil’s family, including the former officer’s wife, his daughter and Gil’s little grandson.
Investigator sources confirmed that the images corresponded to the birthday party of the minister’s grandson who was deposed. Likewise, they point out that the party took place on 24th Street n. 113 between 1st. and 3rd, in Miramar, a property that Alejandro Gil received as a gift last May.
The former officer’s sister, Vicky Gil, confirmed in a previous interview that he lived in a small apartment in El Vedado, but that he moved to a Miramar home in May 2023, while the house in Vedado went to give to his son.
Pentón also showed images of this house, which belonged to a foreign company before it was taken over by Gil, and which has many luxuries that are not common in homes on the Island.
For his part, the investigator Luis Domínguez could not help but wonder if López and Rojas, who apparently frequented Gil’s house, are also being investigated for the corruption case surrounding the t -former minister. as were his wife and daughter.
