 MIAMI,
October 10.—A group composed of various U.S.
government agencies is to supervise adherence to
the blockade imposed on Cuba by that country,
which will strongly pursue those who violate it,
as announced by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for
the South Florida District.
The announcement was made in
Miami by U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta who
noted in a press conference that the final
objective of these actions is to economically
“isolate” the Cuban government and “speed up”
the destruction of the Revolution.
Acosta informed journalists
that a specific task force has been set up, in
conjunction with other government agencies with
the aim of ensuring that the program of
sanctions on Cuba is complied with and to pursue
those who fail to do so.
The Federal team, known as the
task force, is also made up of the FBI, the
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the
Department of Commerce, the Coast Guard and
OFAC.
The U.S. Attorney warned that
persons who violate the blockade regulations
could receive prison terms of up to 10 years and
fines ranging from $250,000 to $1 million in the
case of corporations.
