🇨🇺 — The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba (FAR) carried out air defense exercises as part of combat preparations for invasion scenarios involving the island. According to reports, the drills involved the use of an S-125-2BM Pechora-2BM air defense system equipped with 5V27 missile (V-601) surface-to-air missiles.

🇺🇸⛓🇨🇺 — Adys Lastres Morera, sister of a Cuban general linked to the economic and military high command of the communist regime in Cuba, was arrested in Florida after having her permanent residency in the United States revoked

💥 According to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Morera is now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Her arrest comes amid increased U.S. pressure on Havana.

➡️ Morera is the sister of General Ania Guillermina Lastres Morera, executive president of GAESA, a financial conglomerate controlled by the Cuban military, according to the United States. Rubio stated that GAESA is currently “stealing millions in aid intended for the Cuban people” on behalf of the communist regime.

➡️ Morera’s arrest comes two weeks after the United States Department of the Treasury added her sister, General Ania Guillermina Lastres Morera, to the sanctions list maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). According to the official profile of the Communist Party of Cuba, Ania has led GAESA since 2022, has been a member of the Central Committee, and has served in the National Assembly since 2018.

➡️ GAESA is considered the economic core of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba. The conglomerate controls strategic sectors on the island, including tourism, foreign currency commerce, remittances, banking, port logistics, and part of foreign trade. The American government accuses the group of enabling a small elite within the Cuban regime to divert resources from the island and maintain up to US$20 billion (R$100 billion at the latest exchange rate) in illicit funds held in overseas accounts.

❌ In a post on 𝕏, Rubio stated that Morera was living in Florida, managing real estate assets, and simultaneously helping the communist regime in Havana.

Adys Lastres Morera is the sister of the Executive President of GAESA, the Cuban military-controlled financial conglomerate that steals millions in aid for the Cuban people at the behest of the regime.

Morera was managing real estate assets and living in Florida, while also aiding Havana's communist regime, until I terminated her permanent resident status.

I am pleased to announce that today, she was arrested and is now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

There will be nowhere on this Earth - much less in our country - where foreign nationals who threaten our national security can live lavishly.
