Ángel Francisco Carromero Barrios served as a leader of a Madrid branch of the New Generations of the People's Party of Spain. He is currently serving a four-year prison sentence in Spain for the involuntary manslaughter of Cuban dissidents Oswaldo Payá and Harold Cepero.

Detention in relation to the death of Oswaldo Payá

27-year-old Ángel Francisco Carromero was detained by Cuban authorities immediately following the July 22, 2012 vehicular deaths of political dissidents Oswaldo Payá and Harold Cepero, both of whom were passengers on the affected car. Ángel Carromero, who was driving the vehicle at the time of the accident, received non-life threatening injuries; Jens Aron Modig, a Swedish politician who was also a passenger in the car, was similarly injured in a non-life threatening way. The road, which is in the vicinity of Bayamo, has been described by news sources as being "in the process of repair, covered in abundant gravel, and, therefore, very skiddy" when the incident occurred.[1][2]

Carromero had accumulated a total of 42 traffic fines since 2009 (three of them for speeding) and the Spanish Directorate General of Traffic had notified him on May 18, 2012 that it was initiating the process of withdrawing his driver's license.[3][4][5][6][7][8] Carromero had lost all his driver's license points, meaning he was in imminent risk of losing his license, however, it was later reported by government sources that the decision to withdraw his driver's license had not yet been officially published.[9] His friends, according to various news media, described him as being "the very figure of Prudence when behind the wheel of a car."[10]

The Cuban government accused Ángel Carromero of illegally financing Cuban government-opposition groups.[11] Manslaughter charges were levied against Carromero for the two vehicular deaths, with Cuban authorities asserting that in a case such as his, in which negligent actions resulted in "grave consequences," Cuban law required a maximum sentence of 15 years imprisonment.[4]

In 2009 Carromero opened in Madrid the gym Vanitas Fitness,[12] which is administered by Lostic Investment, a corporation which he himself established and controls.

The business company Lostic Investment S.L. was registered in the Official Gazette of the Commercial Registry (BORME) in 2009 and has had accounts pending with the Spanish Treasury, said accounts have been recorded in the Official Bulletin of the State BOE. On April 29, 2011 the company was notified of its obligations and of collection proceedings, including two for executive settlement (liquidación ejecutiva) and one for account embargo (embargo de cuentas).[13]. On June 24, 2011 it was published in the BOE that owing to the impossibility of locating a company administrator pursuant to two notifications, the Public Treasury would be initiating two collection proceedings: one for fractional payments (pago fraccionado) and one for compensation fees (recargo de compensaciones)[14][15].

Carromero's trial in Cuba began and ended on October 5, 2012.[16] The Cuban Attorney General's office sought to impose a penalty of seven years in prison for Carromero, however, he was ultimately given a sentence of four years, which, owing to a bilateral convention on the execution of sentences signed between Cuba and Spain in 1998, could be served in the latter country. Ángel Carromero arrived in Spain on December 29, 2012 and is currently serving his four year prison sentence at the Centro Penitenciario de Segovia.[17]
