Dozens of workers at state company detained
SANTA CLARA, Cuba, November 17 (Guillermo
Fariñas, Cubanacán Press /
www.cubanet.org) - Dozens of workers at
the Empresa de Comercio Mayorista have been
detained since the end of October because
of alleged corruption in the state-owned
business, according to sources.
Among the detainees are managers, office
employees, security workers and stevedores,
as well as some people who do not work for
the company.
Said one source familiar with the company:
"The bosses lost the notion of danger
that stealing from the state signifies in
Cuba and they took the contents of 15 containers
of sardines which belonged to the 'battle
of ideas' which Fidel Castro personally
supervises."
Another source said the number of detainees
was about 60 and that they were undergoing
constant questioning by State Security agents.
