His Cuban-born wife, Lidia Alfonso Llauger could get 10 years. The couple were found guilty of selling a purported "miracle drug" to foreign businessmen. Sixty-year-old Vesco skipped bail in Geneva, Switzerland in 1973, after being charged with defrauding US investors. He was given shelter in Cuba in 1982 and has lived there ever since. His 42-year-old wife is charged with having aided Vesco in the miracle-drug scam. The couple signed contracts with foreign firms for distribution rights to a drug developed by Cuba's biochemical industry, known alternately as Vioxan, Trioxidal or "TX," which supposedly cures diseases ranging from flu to cancer.
