Sandro Castro is captured by the police on Fifth Avenue in Havana

The controversial grandson of dictator Fidel Castro, the young "revolutionary entrepreneur" and "king of the night" Sandro Castro, was filmed being detained by a traffic officer on December 24th on the famous Fifth Avenue in Havana.

The exclusive images sent to the editorial office of CiberCuba show Castro talking with the officer as he reviews documents. According to the source who witnessed the incident, Sandro was traveling in a high-end car, the model of which could not be identified.

The witness stated that the traffic stop did not result in a fine, and that the young man appeared relaxed and smiling during his interaction with the officer. This attitude reinforces the perception among many Cubans regarding the preferential treatment received by members of the Castro elite.

Sandro Castro is no stranger to controversy, as he has previously faced strong criticism for his ostentatious lifestyle in a country marked by a prolonged economic crisis.

Recently, it made headlines for hosting lavish parties and for statements that sparked outrage on social media. This time, it showcased a family year-end banquet featuring pork and cigars, something unattainable for most Cubans.

In another recent controversy, Castro astonished Cubans with provocative statements and public activities that highlight his privileged lifestyle. Additionally, his 2024 birthday was marked by an extravagant party featuring exclusive guests and expensive resources.

In 2021, he bragged about his access to luxury vehicles in a widely criticized video.

These incidents reflect the disconnect between the reality of the Cuban elite and the hardships faced by the population, leading to growing social discontent. As the country grapples with severe economic restrictions, such episodes reignite criticism of the privileges enjoyed by those connected to power.

The images of this incident reinforce the perception that impunity remains a hallmark among figures associated with the regime. Sandro Castro once again finds himself at the center of public controversy.
