Report attributes prison sentences to Starlink sellers in Santa Clara
The profile that published the claim also says 37 devices were seized and buyers of the antennas received fines.
A report shared in a Santa Clara Facebook group attributes four- and five-year prison sentences to several people for selling Starlink antennas. The message was posted by the profile Alejandro Noticias Cuba, which also says authorities seized 37 devices. The claim describes a local case involving sale of satellite-connection equipment and attributes criminal consequences to people allegedly involved.
According to the profile, those sanctioned belonged to a network bringing in and selling the equipment. The post extends the account to other participants, saying transporters were also sanctioned and some antenna buyers fined. The measures mentioned therefore are not limited to sellers but include people connected with transportation and acquisition.
The report places buyer fines at 100,000 Cuban pesos and says antennas were confiscated. The same message attributes seizure of 37 devices overall and four- and five-year prison terms to sellers. Those figures are claims in the Facebook publication, which presents both financial sanctions and imprisonment.
The profile describes those affected as members of a network importing and selling the devices in Santa Clara. In addition to sentences attributed to some sellers, it refers to sanctions for transporters and buyers. The publication also calls for reporting people who move, sell or acquire antennas, extending the allegation beyond those it says were network members.
The case sits within a market where Starlink antennas were offered in April 2026 for $1,300 to $1,800. Some owners were also reported sharing connections through private networks. Those details describe how equipment is offered and used in Cuba, while the Santa Clara report focuses on alleged sanctions tied to entry and sale.
