GÜINES, February 19 (José Izquierdo, Grupo Decoro /
www.cubanet.org) - Twenty managers in the government food and beverage
distribution company in Güines, a town south of Havana, stand accused of
diverting eggs, rum and bottled beer to black market sales.
The 20 were arrested February 8 after police occupied a container full of
eggs in the outskirts of town. Later, police found stocks of rum and bottled
beer, which they also linked to the black market distribution scheme.
The highest ranking official arrested, Ramón Aramillo, was the vice
director of the local food and beverage distribution operation, and the other 19
were managers of retail outlets in the company.
At a meeting of the provincial Communist Party last week, the party's first
secretary, Pedro Sáenz Montejo, called for harsh penalties for those
involved, calling them "true vultures of the economy."
