US government seeks indictment of former Cuban leader Raul Castro

The US Department of Justice is reportedly seeking an indictment against Raul Castro, the former leader of Cuba. According to sources, this move is related to the 1996 shootdown of a Brothers to the Rescue plane.

In June 1996, two American citizens were killed when their plane was shot down by Cuban forces while flying over international waters. The incident has been a point of contention between the US and Cuba for many years.

The US Department of Justice is said to be moving forward with an indictment against Raul Castro in connection with this incident. However, no further details have been released at this time.

It’s worth noting that Raúl Castro served as the President of Cuba from 2008 to 2021 and was a key figure in the country’s government during his tenure. The US has had strained relations with Cuba under his leadership, but it’s unclear what specific actions or policies led to this development.

The Department of Justice has not commented publicly on its plans for an indictment against Raul Castro.
