Abstract: 
On September 2, 1986, the case of the Cubana aircraft, which exploded in mid-air, blown up by anti-Castro terrorists in the mid-seventies, has ended controversially.  Chief Judge of the First Penal Petition, Alberto Perez Marcano, sentenced to twenty years in prison Venezuelans Hernan Ricardo and Freddy Lugo.  However, surprisingly Orlando Bosch, a Cuban, was found not guilty.
