The Loss of Homes and Businesses in Cuba
Sep 24, 2026
Benjamin Diaz/Glenn E. Wichinsky Attorney at Law, Advisor of Domestic and International Companies

Recently, the United States Supreme Court ruled 8–1 in favor of a U.S. company seeking compensation for property in Cuba that was confiscated after Fidel Castro came to power more than 65 years ago. This decision has reignited important questions about property seizures during the Castro era, the relationship between the U.S. and Cuba, and the ongoing impact of the Helms-Burton Act.

Attorney Glenn E. Wichinsky, an expert in international gaming law, business, and organized crime history, explains the historical significance of this ruling. He discusses how the Cuban government’s seizure of property after the revolution affected American casino owners and organized crime figures, and why Cuba continues to be a key legal and political issue for U.S. businesses today.
