HAVANA — A Canadian
company says its president has been sentenced in Cuba to 15 years in
prison on corruption-related charges that Cuban officials call part of a
widespread campaign against graft.
The Ontario-based automotive company
Tokmakjian Group says its lawyers were notified Friday that Cy
Tokmakjian was convicted and sentenced on a variety of charges. Company
vice president Lee Hacker tells The Associated Press that firm managers
Claudio Vetere and Marco Puche got shorter sentences.
Cuban
officials have provided few details about the case. But dozens of Cuban
executives and government officials and a series of foreigners have
been swept up in what is described as an attack on a culture of payoffs
by foreigners.
The arrests sent a chill through international business people investing in Cuba.
