Guantanamo.- 
Forces from the Ministry of the Interior (Minint) dismantled a network in Guantánamo dedicated to fraud through the fraudulent purchase and sale of US dollars, an operation that extended to Havana, Villa Clara, and Las Tunas.
According to official information from the National Revolutionary Police (PNR) on their Facebook page, Héroes de Azul (Heroes in Blue), eight people were arrested—five men and three women—who had been operating in the eastern province since July.
In the operation, more than 100,000 Cuban pesos, cell phones, and phone lines used in the fraud were seized. The economic damage was estimated at nearly six million Cuban pesos and one thousand US dollars.
Authorities urged the public to report similar incidents in order to contribute to justice and public safety.
The crime of fraud is regulated in the current Penal Code (Law No. 151 of 2022), approved by the National Assembly of People’s Power and published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Cuba.
