30 Charged in 133-Tonne Chicken Heist in Cuba
Cuba has charged 30 people for stealing 133 tonnes of chicken from a state facility in Havana and selling it on the street, using the proceeds to buy electronics. The stolen chicken was meant for Cuba's subsidized rationbook system, which has seen a decline in availability due to economic crisis. The suspects, including employees and outsiders, could face up to 20 years in prison if found guilty. This rare major heist comes at a time of food shortages and increased crime in the communist-run nation.
