Six people returned from the first country and 44 from the second, the source explained in a press release.

According to that organization, with these there are 61 actions of this type carried out from different countries in the area, with a total of 3,238 people returned this year.

Two of those returned were on probation for serving criminal sanctions at the time of illegally leaving the country, which will be made available to the corresponding courts for the revocation of said benefit.

Another was arrested because he was circulated by the police as the alleged perpetrator of a criminal act that is being investigated.

The Cuban authorities remain firm in their commitment to regular, safe and orderly migration, while reiterating the danger and life-threatening conditions that illegal departures from the country by sea represent, the text stated.
