Dollar traders warned
SANTA CLARA, Cuba - June 17 (Karel Castillo,
Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org)
- Several dollar traders were rounded up
by police in Santa Clara June 15. The men
were taken to the first police station,
where they were issued warning writs.
Dollar traders work illegally for a profit
of one to two pesos per dollar.
Police came out of uniform in ones and
twos, explained Julio Marrero, who said
he is the neighbor of one of the traders
arrested.
"They showed up by surprise, asked
for their identification, and arrested them,"
he said.
