The police in Jagüey Grande, Matanzas, recently detected two individuals transporting 1,053 jars of homemade yogurt in two vehicles parked on the public road in the town of Torriente.
The official profile "Con Todos la Victoria," aligned with the Ministry of the Interior (MININT), reported via Facebook that those involved have been identified as Vladimir Prieto Luzbet and Efraín Morejón Pompa.
The latter has a criminal record for injury and hoarding, a crime for which he will now face justice again, he emphasized.
To produce such a large quantity of yogurt, at least 1,500 liters of milk would have been needed, which, according to the report, could have affected the supply of this product to the child population, an accusation that highlights the seriousness of the situation.
However, "Con Todos la Victoria" did not specify the source of the milk, a matter that, due to the large volume, will undoubtedly involve many more people, likely executives.
The official profile emphasized the need for "zero tolerance" towards crime, illegality, and social indiscipline, suggesting that MININT will combat these types of activities, creating the false image that the regime is addressing the fundamental problems affecting the population.
In another example of the "fight against crime," the Cuban police recently detained a man who was transporting over 30 sacks of semi-clean coffee on a tractor during an operation in Arroyo Rico, II Frente municipality, Santiago de Cuba.
The regime’s spokesperson profile “Heroes of Moncada” on Facebook stated that the coffee was intended for the informal market, a practice that, instead of decreasing, has intensified in recent years.
Days ago, a couple was arrested in Holguín after authorities discovered they were transporting drugs and a significant amount of cash.
The information was shared this Sunday through the official profile "Cazador-Cazado," which detailed the events in a post on Facebook.
