US planning to criminally indict ex-Cuban leader Raúl Castro
The U.S. Department of Justice is reportedly preparing to seek a grand jury indictment against 94-year-old former Cuban leader Raúl Castro in the coming days over his alleged role in the 1996 downing of two aircraft operated by the exile group Brothers to the Rescue, which killed four people, as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing pressure campaign against Cuba. This development comes amid recent CIA talks with Cuban officials, while analysts warn that further destabilization of Cuba could trigger a mass migration crisis for the United States.
