MIAMI — The younger sister of Fidel and Raúl Castro, Juanita Castro, says she collaborated with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency against her brothers’ rule in Cuba before going into exile in Miami in 1964.

Ms. Castro, 76, who has not spoken to either of her brothers for more than four decades, made the revelation to the Spanish-language TV channel Univision-Noticias 23 on Sunday, the day before the publication of her memoirs about Fidel and Raúl Castro.

The book in Spanish entitled “Fidel and Raúl, My Brothers: The Secret History,” was co-written with the Mexican journalist María Antonieta Collins.

After initially supporting Fidel Castro’s revolution that toppled the Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959, Ms. Castro said she became disillusioned by the way her elder brother was executing opponents and moving the island toward Communism.
