MIAMI (AP) — A woman who sued Cuba after she unwittingly married an alleged Cuban spy was awarded $20 million in punitive damages Friday.
Invoking a federal anti-terrorism law, Circuit Judge Alan Postman ordered the amount paid to Ana Margarita Martinez in addition to the $7.1 million in compensatory damages he awarded to her earlier this month.
Martinez, 40, will try to collect the money from Cuban assets frozen in the United States.
