HAVANA, November 19 (José Antonio Fornaris, Cuba-Verdad / CubaNet)
The chief of police in Aguada de Pasajeros, a town near the southern Cuban city
of Cienfuegos, stole a coachman’s horse to feed the policemen at the
station, say townspeople.
Shortly thereafter, police fined the coachman, Roberto Fernández
Soto, "for leaving the animal in an inappropriate location."
Soto left the animal in the yard of an acquaintance’s house on Calixto
García street. When he came back neighbors told him they had seen the
chief taking it, according to a report by local Cuba-Verdad correspondent Ramón
Guillermo Medina.
When Soto went to the police station to report the theft, police fined him
100 pesos and told him he had no chance of recovering the horse.
Townspeople say the police chief is notorious for abusing his authority.
