Cuban national, Raul Garcia is now living a reformed life back home in his native Cuba.
In a press statement that he wrote and delivered via his friend and confidant, Attorney-At-Law, David Comissiong, he stated that he had turned his life around.
“To my people of Barbados I wish you the best and the most Happy New Year. I want all of you to know that my promises have been kept and that my life has been changed into what I am today – a good law-abiding citizen to the world and its people,” it was explained.
He also gave updates on his life now in Cuba, stating that he hopes to own his own taxi service whereby he provides transportation to visitors to that island.
“Soon from now I’ll be able to provide a taxi or sight-seeing service to anyone who wishes and needs to be transported to any part of Cuba in my car. My life over the past three years has been focused on my future and on my family’s future in the best way there is,” he stated.
Garcia who spent a little more than 15 years in prison here in Barbados on cocaine charges and in addition to another three years afterwards in immigration detention, also in this nation, expressed his love for Barbados, stating that this is something that would never change and expressed hope that one day in the future he would be able to come back again for a visit.
“I also want you to know that my love for Barbados has not and will never change as long as I live. Thanks to all of you in Barbados who assisted and supported me in my time of crisis I now carry on a decent and quiet life in my country of Cuba.
“I wish the best to all the people of Barbados, and I hope that God keeps blessing this beautiful island throughout its eternal existence. One day – and I know that God will help me on this – I’ll be able to visit the island again so I can express these words in person. I send my love and best wishes in this year of 2017 to every individual in Barbados. Let peace and harmony be the main reason for all of us to share with one another this year. God bless you all.”
