The Ministry of the Interior (MININT) is maintaining an offensive against structures dedicated to the illegal currency exchange in Cuba, with more than 300 investigations underway and several operations in which hundreds of thousands of dollars, euros, Cuban pesos, vehicles, safes, bank cards, electronic equipment, and other related assets were seized.
The program “Hacemos Cuba” reported that “illegal structures organized from abroad with a support base in Cuba persist,” operating in the exchange and sale of currency, as well as in activities associated with money laundering and tax evasion.
The television program featured Eudenia Sanmiguel Ramírez, chief prosecutor of the Criminal Proceedings Department of the Havana Provincial Prosecutor’s Office, and Lieutenant Colonel Gisnel Rivero Crespo, head of the Department of Combating Economic Crimes of the General Directorate of Criminal Investigation of the MININT.
