During the National Exercise against Crime, Corruption, Illegal Activities, and Social Indiscipline, tax offenses exceeding 72 million pesos were detected in the province of Pinar del Río.
Authorities reported that a total of 1,800 irregularities were recorded, including omissions in documents submitted to the National Office of Statistics and Information (ONEI), employees without labor contracts and outside the protection of the Labor Code, as well as issues related to the operation of bank accounts, according to Radio Reloj.
In an attempt to counteract these events, the regime implemented measures such as seizing goods, closing establishments, and forced sales, in addition to confronting illegal carriers.
These findings reflect serious flaws in the administrative and financial management that characterize the Cuban economy, and according to the official news portal, they have a significant impact on the local economy and highlight the ongoing irregularities in adherence to existing regulations.
From December 2 to 7, Cuba conducted the National Exercise for the Prevention and Combat of Crime, Corruption, Illegality, and Social Indiscipline, an initiative promoted by the leader Miguel Díaz-Canel, who aims to project an image of addressing the country’s most pressing issues.
During those days, several cases stood out, highlighting the deep dysfunction that characterizes the Cuban economy.
For example, in the municipality of Songo-La Maya, in Santiago de Cuba, police authorities recovered two oxen that had been stolen and were about to be illegally slaughtered.
Also in that province, a man was arrested at the intermunicipal terminal in the Frank País locality, within the Contramaestre municipality, after being identified as the owner of a shipment that contained over 500 pounds of cheese and 300 pounds of beef.
Additionally, during the regime's crackdown on corruption, authorities recently seized two trucks loaded with 15 tons of rice in Cienfuegos.
On the other hand, the Cuban Deputy Attorney General, Marcos Caraballo de la Rosa, mentioned that during the National Exercise for Crime Prevention and Suppression, more than 300 precautionary measures were implemented in Cuba, with 83% involving provisional detention, primarily targeting crimes related to corruption and drug trafficking.
In general terms, over 3,300 arrests and exemplary trials were conducted across all provinces of the country, including cases related to corruption, according to official media reports.
