excerpt:
Carromero and Modig, members of center-right political parties in their home countries, entered Cuba on tourist visas but acknowledged working with dissidents. Modig said he first came to Cuba in 2009 to meet with dissidents, and on this trip they were to meet with Paya, give him 4,000 euros ($4,900) for his opposition work and help organize dissident political youth groups.

Cuba calls the government opponents "counterrevolutionaries" and accuses them of accepting foreign funding to undermine the Communist government.

Modig offered an apology for bringing money to the dissidents.

"I understand that these activities are not legal in Cuba and I would like to apologize for having come to this country to realize illicit activities," he said, according to a Spanish translation of his comments.

Cuban authorities have suggested that Carromero could face prosecution in relation to the crash.

You could say the US policy is to blame for the death of this nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize

Spanish, will look for translation, basically the Swede admitted to bringing 6,000 from a Republican group that accepts USAID money to Paya. The Swede and the Spaniard confirm the accident story vs. the conspiracy theory invented by Paya's daughter about a second vehicle that pushed them off the road.

Busted. It's illegal to enter as a tourist to engage in political work in Cuba, worse if you bring 6 grand in for that.
