A Cuban outlet alleges that prior to Maduro's capture, the Cuban regime resold 60-80% of Venezuelan oil shipments to Asia and other friendly markets for foreign currency, characterizing petroleum as a 'strong currency scam.' The claim is unverified and likely reflects political commentary rather than confirmed trade data. If accurate, it would indicate significant diversion of Venezuelan oil aid for financial gain, straining bilateral relations and regional energy dynamics.
