The younger sister of Fidel Castro became so disillusioned with the Cuban regime before going into exile that she began working for the CIA against her brothers' rule, she tells Univision Noticias 23.

Juanita Castro, 76, says in the interview broadcast Sunday that she became especially upset that Castro was executing opponents and moving the island toward communism.

"I began to become disenchanted when I saw so much injustice," she says.

She was interviewed by Mexican journalist Maria Antonieta Collins, who is co-author of a new memoir titled Fidel and Raul, My Brothers, the Secret History.
