    The situation in Cuba is very dire. Despite my dislike for the Cuban government, I hope they throw the book at them. Stealing food meant to be distributed to one’s fellow citizens is low.

      IT workers and shift bosses at the plant were among those charged, as well as security guards and outsiders not directly involved with the company.

      It sounds like they’re taking down the whole corrupt nest and will likely land some bystanders that “knew but didn’t say” about the diversion.

    133 TONS of chicken…

    Cuba uses the metric system, 133,000 kilograms of chicken. 293,215 pounds.

    On average, a chicken weighs 5.7 pounds.

    293,215 / 5.7 = 51,441 chickens.

        End the sanctions which are just punishing the citizens and not the government but in this case they stole from the poor to sell back to the poor
