i find it rather unlikely that fidel knew shit (especially if this is indeed from 2003), the title is ironic shrug-outta-hecks

I guess he's with former Colombian Right-Wing President Andres Pastrana.

Pastrana wrote in a Twitter statement: 'Amid journalistic revelations about horrifying and reprehensible sex scandals of financier Jeffrey Epstein, a trip of mine on his plane to Nassau, Bahamas has appeared, to transfer to the final destination of Havana, Cuba, invited by President Fidel Castro,' . 'Mr. Jeffrey Epstein left Cuba a day or two later; I stayed on the island,' he added.

The 73-page flight record, which was acquired by the Miami Herald, didn't show the Cuban leg of the trip nor did it appear in data stored by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Pastrana, who attempted to disassociate himself from the child predator, acknowledged he first met Epstein at the Academy of Achievement summit held in Ireland in June 2002.

'I met Mr. Jeffrey Epstein in Ireland when I was honored at the 'Summit of Achievements' in Dublin, a widely publicized ceremony that was attended by Mikhail Gorbachev, Bill Clinton, Bono and Jeremy Irons. I never knew about Mr. Jeffrey Epstein's now-infamous island,' said Pastrana.

Pastrana was president of Colombia from August 1998 until August 2002, and went on to be Ambassador to the United States in 2005 and 2006.
