Cuba conducted a full investigation into a possible crime against the heads of diplomatic representatives of foreign countries.
Colonel Roberto Hernandez at the Cuban Ministry of Interior noted that after allegations of sonic attacks in 2017, the country launched a comprehensive investigation into the possible crime.
The Ministry confirmed on Monday that no criminal or scientific evidence of alleged acoustic attacks against US diplomats in the capital was found.
According to Hernandez " no suspects have been found, or persons with motives, intentions, or means to carry out such acts."
Hernandez stressed that the Cuban officials did not rule out the possibility of other patients with similar symptoms to those described by American officials, noting that he proposes a bilateral scientific investigation.
The Cuban Academy of Sciences described the incident as a "mysterious occurrence" and scientifically unacceptable, which is the pretext used by the US to close its consular services and withdraw a majority of its diplomats from Cuba during the Trump administration.
Previously, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez regarded claims of inexplicable "sound attacks" that may have resulted in bodily injury to US diplomats in Cuba as a "political manipulation" aimed at weakening US-Cuban ties as a "political manipulation".
The mysterious phenomenon first occurred in Havana in 2017 shortly after President Trump's inauguration. Forty US diplomats were exposed to mysterious sounds and after an unknown sound played near their residences, while media outlets described it as an "acoustic attack".
