Do you know what it means when someone is being dishonest or not doing their job the right way, even though they know it's not fair? That's called corruption. In Cuba, corruption happens when people who are in charge of making decisions, like government officials or police officers, take advantage of their power and do things that are not legal. This can mean taking bribes (which means they take money or gifts from people who want something from them), changing rules to benefit themselves or their friends, or just not following the laws that are in place. When people in power are corrupt, it can affect regular people in negative ways, making life harder for them. The government in Cuba has been trying to fight corruption, but it still happens sometimes.
