Miami
A 95-year-old Cuban exile last week sued Club Med for building a five-star resort on beachfront land in Cuba that Fidel Castro’s government confiscated from her family. The woman, Elvira de la Vega Glen, said the French resort chain had violated the U.S. Trading With the Enemy Act by working with the communist government to develop the land, in 1997. “The people who are there have no business being there,” she said. A spokesman for Club Med, which has since sold the resort to a Spanish hotel chain, said the company had done nothing wrong and did not owe the family a dime.
