Border guards detain two Cubans traveling to Spain with false passports
Border guards in Brest this past weekend detained two Cubans who produced forged Spanish passports, said the State Border Troops Committee's press office.
A subsequent inquiry showed that the Cubans, born 1972 and 1975, had left their country and were travelling to Spain in search of a better life. They said they had bought false passports in Moscow for $3,500 each. One of them boarded a train for Prague, and the other a train for Warsaw. Brest's Leninsky District Court imposed fines on both men,
who may be deported soon.
