Thomas Cook staff and passengers 'held hostage in Cuba' over firm's unpaid bills

TERRIFIED Thomas Cook staff have claimed they are being “held as ransom” in Cuba as the country refuses to accept promises their bills will be paid.

Thomas Cook worker, Ellie Moffet, explained the situation in a Facebook post where she said she hoped to leave the island soon. “It’s amazing to see how many people back at home, who’ve lost their jobs and incomes, but are still trying desperately to get us noticed by the media, any help they can get.

Other frustrated customers complained of family members being stuck in Cuba and being asked to pay more than £1000 to leave. The couple got engaged at the start of their 10-day holiday on September 18 after paying more than £2,000.
