Cuban-American
Foundation Into
Trafficking
Mexico - The
Cuban-American National
Foundation is linked to
the Gulf Cartel in human
trafficking from Cuba to
the US via Mexico,
declared La Jornada
today, quoting sources
from the Attorney
General’s Office.
The newspaper remarks
that the
counterrevolutionary
organization from Miami
is linked for three
years now to Los Zetas,
a band of hired
assassins from the Gulf
Cartel, moving Cuban and
Central American
immigrants into the
United States through
Mexican territory.
Quoting official
sources, the newspaper
adds testimonies
provided before
ministerial and justice
authorities of Cancun,
Quintana Roo State,
prove the participation
of two Cubans currently
arrested.
La Jornada points out
that Nairobi Claro and
Noriel Veloz, allegedly
responsible for the
introduction of 33
Cubans into Mexico,
declared they belonged
to the Foundation and
that they received money
to bribe Mexican
authorities and get
apocryphal migratory
documents.
Those arrested,
according to the same
source, are related to
the kidnapping by the
same group of Cuban
immigrants when they
were being transferred
from Cancun to the
Migratory Station in
Chiapas, by agents of
the National Institute
of Migration.
The two under arrest
refused their benefit of
being bailed on parole
by lawyers unknown to
them, afraid to be
executed if they leave
Cancun penitentiary.
La Jornada quotes, on
the other hand,
confidential reports
from the Center of
Planning, Analysis and
Information to Fight
Crime, intelligence
organ of PGR, which says
a voyage by boat from
Cuba to the US through
Mexico costs around
19,000 dollars.
Cubans leave their
country on small boats
picked up later in
international waters by
luxury yachts, to be
transferred to Mexican
territory. They are
later taken to the
Northern border, in
Tamaulipas, asserts.
The daily describes the
Detention Centre where
both Cubans are, is
guarded round-the-clock
by elements of the FBI,
afraid they would be
murdered by a hired
assassin of the
Foundation.
They expect the two
Cubans to stop releasing
confidential information
about the “mafia from
Miami” to Mexican
authorities.
