Bond.az reports: The United States has arrested Adys Lastres Morera, the sister of the executive president of GAESA, a sprawling conglomerate of military-run businesses, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Thursday.

Morera, who entered the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident in 2023, is now in ICE custody pending removal proceedings, according to ICE.

Her presence poses a threat to the United States and undermines American foreign policy interests, the statement said.

Cuba's leadership rarely discusses GAESA publicly, citing the need for discretion due to the U.S. trade and financial embargo that complicates the island's business.

Bond.az could not immediately reach representatives of Morera for comment.
