Police find five thousand dollars at Havana airport

An officer from the Police at José Martí International Airport found a briefcase containing 5,000 dollars and personal documents, and returned it entirely to its owner, who expressed surprise and gratitude for the gesture.

According to the official profile of Jairo Cu, the incident occurred on Friday afternoon at Terminal 3 of the country's main airport.

The discovery was made by First Subofficer Alexis Pérez, who immediately secured the portfolio and activated the established protocols for this type of situation.

Hours later, the owner arrived at the premises and received his belongings in perfect condition. According to witnesses, the affected individual showed deep relief and expressed his gratitude for the agent's actions.

The Police took the opportunity to highlight that the case reflects the "commitment" of its officers to the principles of honesty and responsibility in public service, amidst severe criticism towards the officials for their inaction during the wave of violence affecting Cuba.

This month, it was also reported that a police officer returned nearly 70,000 Cuban pesos and a gold chain, items that had been lost by a passenger at the José Martí International Airport.

After the appropriate verification, the money and the item were returned to their owner, who publicly expressed gratitude for the actions of the enforcers.

These events occur in a context of severe economic crisis in Cuba, where scarcity and inflation have driven up prices of basic goods and reduced the purchasing power of the population.

Therefore, the return of significant amounts of money does not go unnoticed among travelers and airport workers.

The Cuban government has used state-run media to highlight these acts of honesty in an effort to improve the public image of its police force and counter criticism of the regime's management.
