You are receiving this email because you are a member of the Havana Journal. We send out VERY periodic updates and alerts.
Just about every month OFAC (US Treasury department in charge of enforcing Cuba sanctions) releases a list of violations to the various sanctions that they are in charge of monitoring. They monitor US sanctions against a variety of countries, drug trafficking as well as chasing terrorist money.
So, with all this responsibility, I thought you would like to know that half of the violations in this month’s report were for Cuban Embargo violations. The fines totaled just under $5000 for the four violations.
How much of your tax dollars went to collect this $5000?
To top it off, three of the eight total violations were for the “crime” of buying Cuban cigars over the Internet.
