MIAMI — President Donald Trump’s administration announced new sanctions on Monday against a group of top Cuban Communist Party officials.
The U.S. State Department announced designating 11 “regime-aligned elites” associated with Cuba’s security apparatus, as well as three Cuban government bodies.
The U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control also released a list of nine people sanctioned. Both lists included the Directorate of Intelligence of Cuba, also known as DGI or G2.
It also included three generals — Maj. Gen. Eugenio Armando Rabilero Aguilera; Maj. Gen. Raúl Cuba Villar Kessel; Gen. Joaquin Quintas Sola — and Jose Miguel Gomez Del Vallin, Cuba’s chief of staff of military counterintelligence.
The list also included Vicente de la O Levy, Cuba’s minister of energy and mines; Rosabel Gamón Verde, Cuba’s minister of justice; and Mayra Arevich Marin, the minister of communications.
The others in the list were Juan Esteban Lazo Hernandez, the president of the Cuban National Assembly; and Dr. Roberto Tomás Morales Ojeda, secretary of the party’s Organization of the Central Committee.
