A recent decision by the US Supreme Court has allowed Exxon Mobil to proceed with a lawsuit against Cuban state oil companies. The lawsuit is related to the confiscation of properties that occurred after Fidel Castro's regime took power. The confiscation in question took place in 1960, nearly seven decades ago.

The Supreme Court's decision enables Exxon Mobil to move forward with its claim against the Cuban companies. Further details about the lawsuit and the Supreme Court's decision are available from KVIA ABC-7's source, which reported on the development this week.
