The Hidden History of Cuba, Fidel Castro, and Arnaldo Ochoa: Angola, the Ministry of the Interior, and the Secrets of Power in Havana Reveal the Fate of Pascual Martínez Gil.
In 1989, the Cuban Revolution experienced one of its greatest internal crises. The case of General Arnaldo Ochoa and the executions that shook the country exposed the tensions within the Armed Forces and state security agencies. But behind that process lay another, lesser-known story: the fall of Pascual Martínez Gil, one of the high-ranking officials in the Ministry of the Interior.
This documentary by CUBA PROHIBIDA reconstructs the trajectory of a military officer who fought in Angola during Operation Carlota, rose to the highest echelons of power, and ended up imprisoned after the 1989 purge. His relationship with José Abrantes, Tony de la Guardia, Patricio de la Guardia, and Arnaldo Ochoa allows us to explore the rivalries, loyalties, and secrets surrounding one of the most controversial episodes in Cuba's contemporary history.
What really happened within the Ministry of the Interior (MININT)? Why were men who had served the revolution for years arrested? What role did Fidel Castro and Raúl Castro play in the reorganization of the security apparatus? And, above all, why did a general who participated in the arrest of his own comrades end up losing his position and his freedom?
Through historical context, testimonies attributed to key figures of the time, and accounts of what is known as Case Number Two, we examine the questions that still surround that episode. We also address the accusations related to clandestine operations, the investigated international connections, and the political consequences of a purge that profoundly transformed Cuban power structures. Controversial claims must be distinguished from documented facts and from accounts that have not been independently verified.
The story of Pascual Martínez Gil raises a question that goes beyond one man and one conviction: What happens when loyalty to a system ceases to be a guarantee of protection? From the battlefields of Angola to the personal consequences of his downfall, this case file offers a deeper understanding of the contradictions of a power that demanded absolute obedience.
In this documentary, we also explore the international context of the late 1980s, the pressure exerted by the United States on Cuba, and the impact of the events in Panama on the political balance of the region. A journey through the hidden history, the military decisions, and the mechanisms of control that defined an era.

MC era un aparato creado para traficar. Trafico de drogas, trafico humano, trafico de obras de arte y trafico de todo lo prohibido. Tampoco Ochoa y demas involucrados pretendieron derrocar al regimen, ellos y los suyos vivían como jeques àrabes. No les romanticen que ellos eran tan malos como los Castros.
Desde 1980 comenzaban a acusar al castrismo varios narcos capturados, y entre ellos quien cerró el círculo fue Noriega, que era doble agente.

Durante los últimos años de la década de 1980, Pascual Martínez Gil se convirtió en una figura clave dentro del aparato de seguridad de Fidel Castro. Lo que a simple vista parece la historia de un general implicado en la detención de sus propios compañeros esconde un conflicto mucho más profundo: la lucha por el poder, las lealtades quebradas y las consecuencias de conocer los secretos de un régimen.
Este documental histórico analiza el caso de Arnaldo Ochoa, las ejecuciones de julio de 1989, la caída de José Abrantes y los procesos judiciales conocidos como la causa número uno y la causa número dos. También examinamos el papel del MININT, las relaciones entre Fidel y Raúl Castro y las acusaciones sobre operaciones clandestinas que marcaron uno de los episodios más controvertidos de la historia contemporánea de Cuba.
A través de la trayectoria de Pascual Martínez Gil, descubrirás cómo un militar que combatió en Angola, ocupó posiciones de máxima responsabilidad y participó en las detenciones de antiguos compañeros terminó condenado a prisión y apartado de la vida pública. Una historia de ascenso, obediencia, traición y silencio que plantea preguntas incómodas sobre el funcionamiento del poder en Cuba.
