Chivatos is a Cuban term for those who cooperated with Batista's Government denouncing people as revolutionaries or against the regime. Chivatos were well-paid informants and most of them were arrested or executed when the Revolution triumphed on January 1 of 1959. In modern times,

"chivato" is used in many Spanish-speaking countries; Cuba (where it originated), Mexico, Dominican Republic, and Panama. This Spanish term has a more open meaning now; as when you tell on someone, you are a "chivato." The nearest English equivalent is "snitch."
