Cuba sentences four to up to 20 years for stealing 140L dielectric oil

A Cuban court sentenced four individuals to up to 20 years in prison for stealing 140 liters of dielectric oil, charging them with 'sabotage' with aggravating factors of group action, nighttime, and economic gain. The harsh penalty for a relatively small theft signals heightened state sensitivity to infrastructure-related crimes amid Cuba's energy crisis. The case reflects the regime's use of severe judicial measures to deter sabotage as blackouts and fuel shortages persist.
