US Expected to Indict Elderly Raul Castro Amidst Domestic Distractions
A U.S. indictment is expected to be announced Wednesday in Miami, with federal sources indicating it concerns former Cuban President Raúl Castro and the 1996 downing of two civilian planes belonging to Brothers to the Rescue. The event, to be held by the Justice Department and FBI, coincides with a ceremony honoring the victims of the incident, where four Cuban Americans were killed. Evidence presented to a grand jury reportedly led to the indictment, though specific charges remain undisclosed.
