Sancti Spíritus/In the early hours of July 11, a bold criminal operation was held in the middle of a blackout in Sancti Spíritus. The wholesale mipyme of the agri -food sector, Landservi Surllocated in the Chambelón area, he was the victim of a millionaire robbery. Four people, two of them indicated as the main authors, were arrested and confessed their participation, according to the official report issued by the Ministry of Interior.
The assailants took advantage of the absence of surveillance and electric fluid to access the premises. They climbed and created a bottleneck on the zinc canvas roof, from where they entered stealthily. One of those involved had previously worked at the MSME, knew every corner of the place and knew where the money was kept.
The two main authors were arrested, who confessed their fault and appointed two others involved
The investigation did not require a great technical deployment by the police. He advanced – as is usually the case in Cuba – thanks to population information, including an anonymous complaints. After the initial proceedings, the two main authors were arrested, who confessed their guilt and appointed two others involved. One of these would have transported the loot in a cart to his home; The other, served as an intermediary for the acquisition of means of transport that facilitated theft. Both received considerable sums as a reward.
The discovery of material goods acquired with stolen money – such as two modern motorcycles valued in more than one million pesos each, two electric engine, five high -end mobile phones, clothing, a cart – and the recovery of 2,500,000 pesos in cash, show the magnitude of the theft.
The frequent blackouts have become ideal scenarios for the increase in criminal acts
In the scenario of the criminal scene, the expert works managed to identify fingerprint fragments that coincided with the samples of the detainees. Those involved are currently under provisional prison, while investigating their possible link with other robberies that occurred in the city.
Behind the official story, this robbery shows persistent structural problems. The frequent blackouts have become ideal scenarios for the increase in criminal acts. The weak surveillance in a strategic zone shows deep cracks in institutional and business security.
The participation of a former company employee opens an ethical and control crack in human resources management. The delivery of rewards to involved – who received high sums for participating in the transfer or intermediation of theft – suggests a more complex criminal organization level than a simple common robbery operation. A script assisted by diverse actors is emerging who seek to quickly gain economic benefits without assuming the direct risks of the fact.
The newspaper ‘Escambray’ erroneously names the mipyme as “Lancervi”
The official narrative works with word economy. A criminal act is presented, the modus operandithe detention and recovery of the loot is confirmed and the attachment to the law is affirmed. But in that synthesis faces, claims and voices are missing.
There are no testimonies of the owners or administrators of the MSME, that Escambray namely as “lancervi.” There is also no data on the impact of the criminal act on commercial operations, or analysis of the economic environment that pushes these crimes. The robbery of LandServi is not only a story of intruders slipping at night, but reflects an increase in the complexity of crimes in Cuba.
